!!! Exploding Helicopters !!!

Color me happy. I think this is my strongest cover yet. Certainly it's eye-catching, gritty, and wild... And here's the funny part. When I talk about my books in person or online, I like to poke fun at myself and explain that while, yes, of course, they're excellently written and full of moving human drama and real emotion, at the core these novels are also supposed to be fun, so they're full of exploding helicopters and super-cool advanced weapons technology.

Well, apparently Ace thinks so, too. A huge thanks to Judith Murello and Eric Williams, the design team behind the series artwork. They must have read the books! There really is an exploding helicopter in this one...

Feast! Feast your eyes!

Ditto the blue and the flaming copters... but also love the circuit board look on it too.
Like that A LOT!
I'd buy the book if the cover was just plain tan though because I know what a good read it's going to be.

Can't wait to read it and know what happens to all of the characters.

As always, Good Luck!
