Cover Art
Two versions of the U.S. hardcover dust jacket were produced. Both have Michael Whelan paintings on the front and back with one painting being titled "Seoman" and the other "Jiriki". The difference between the covers is that the front and back paintings were switched. Both paintings were also "flopped" (reversed left-to-right) so that the characters are facing away from the spine on both the front and back for both covers. The same paintings were then used as the cover art for the part 1 and part 2 paperback editions.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or art:
“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken. The art of composition is as simple as the discharge of a bullet from a rifle, and its masterpieces imply an infinitely greater force behind them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
