I always think a cover says so much about the quality of the contents, and I have nightmares about having my work featured in a publication with substandard cover art. Fortunately I genuinely like the cover of the Far Orbit: Apogee anthology.
And, for the first time, here it is:
Here are a few words about the anthology.
“Apogee is the second volume in the Far Orbit anthology series edited by Bascomb James. This well-received series features modern science fiction adventures crafted by a new generation of Grand Tradition SF writers.
If you’re looking for science fiction stories like they used to write, this is the book for you. Apogee takes all of the fun-to-read adventure, ingenuity, and heroism of mid-century pulp fiction and shapes it for a new generation of readers. Follow the adventures of heroic scientists, lunar detectives, space dragons, robots, interstellar pirates, gunslingers, and other memorable characters as they wrestle with adversity beyond the borders of our small blue marble.”
If you wish to pre-order, you can do so at the following sites. The release date is October 13th 2015, and the book is available in trade paperback and ebook formats, from World Weaver Press.
