  5. I like the cover! I also like your name at the top, sort of like it's flying at high speed. That's what it makes me think, anyway.

  9. Alex this is great, I remember when the publisher sent me my book cover, to actually see it in your hands is a feeling beyond compare.

  10. I think they could still work a bit on the fonts (the style itself and there should be a difference between fonts used for the tittle and for your name) , but the picture is lovely and attractive, can't wait to see the back-cover as well. But you must promise us that you'll take us for a galaxy ride in that brilliant space-ship when the book comes out ;))

  40. I can't believe I forgot to come by on Friday, I am sooooooooooooooo sorry!

    This is more than awesome--this is professional. There are some cheesy first novel covers out there, and especially in the SciFi world. But yours is not one of them. Alex, this rocks! Congratulations. I'll be proud to carry this book around.

    Again, I'm sorry for forgetting to come by.
