The Evolution of a Cover
Yesterday, TOR Books put out an official press release for The Cole Protocol, the new Halo novel due soon from Tobias Buckell, and S043 brought news of it to our forum. There was cover art in the release - but we'd mentioned the cover art back in July. There was a release date for the book - but we mentioned THAT back in June. I was going to pass on this press release altogether... but Metalingus627 pointed out that the cover art in the TOR press release (203k) was different from the version posted by Buckell back in July (37k). Mostly it's the armor that the Spartan on the cover is wearing - but there are some minor differences in the background, as well. According to the press release, The Cole Protocol "reveals the location of the Spartan Gray Team and delves deeper into conflicts brought about by the Human-Covenant War." These are Spartan-IIs, just like Master Chief. I thought this was interesting enough to highlight. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:44:57 UTC)
