Cover TIN SWIFT

November 23, 2011 /

I was going to wait a couple days before revealing the cover of TIN SWIFT book 2 in the Age of Steam series, but I see it’s been announced over on Tor.com so I’m going to post it too.  Here you go!

The artist is Cliff Nielsen, and I think he’s done a fabulous job of capturing the speed and movement of the book.  TIN SWIFT reads fast, and is filled with action, adventure, danger, and humor. (Yes, there’s still darkness in it, like DEAD IRON, but the book carries a lighter, faster sort of feeling.)  There’s also new characters introduced, and of course, Cedar Hunt, Mae Lindson, Rose Small, Wil, and the Madder brothers feature in this book too.

That ship on the cover?  That’s the SWIFT.  She’s a beauty, and one of the fastest glim harvesting airships in the western sky.  I’m so happy the artist and art department decided to put Cedar, that big ol’ gun, and the SWIFT on the cover!

So what do you think?  Do you like it?  Here they are side-by-side: DEAD IRON and TIN SWIFT

    Wow! The cover is intense. I like that, despite the dramatic difference in color scheme, the two covers still fit together and look like they belong to the same series. I like that Cedar has upgraded from a pistol to a sniper rifle (?), too. He looks like he’s ready to totally dominate anything that comes at him. As for the Tin Swift, it might be an airship, but it looks like an atomic bomb to me — fast and deadly.

    I would give this cover a big thumbs up!

    I love the new cover. I am so excited for this book. I loved the first one and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this one. I love the world, the character development and the pacing. Its very cool. Not normally a fan of westerns but Dead Iron made me want more.

    I recently finished Dead Iron and was madly in love with it! I loved the characters (especially Rose). I’m so glad I noticed the guy on the cover and picked it up…you had me at “Bounty Hunter with lycanthropy”. I absolutely can’t wait to read Tin Swift! Steampunk is one of my favorite genres! Thank you Devon Monk!
