Science Fiction Writer  ROBERT J. SAWYER  Hugo and Nebula Award Winner SFWRITER.COM > Novels > Illegal Alien > North American Cover North American Covers   Illegal Alien   Covers of the North American editions of Illegal Alien, published by Ace. The December 1998 hardcover (ISBN 0-441-00476-8) is on the left, and the January 1999 paperback (ISBN 0-441-00592-6) is on the right. The starburst on the lower-left of the paperback cover says "Nebula Award-Winning Author of The Terminal Experiment and Starplex". These are my favorite North American covers for any of my books. It's very subtle, but the backdrop (behind the spacescape) is actually a faded version of the American flag, symbolizing faded American justice. (The stars are in the upper left and the stripes ripple diagonally from upper left to lower right.) Jacket painting by Danilo Ducak. Jacket design by David S. Rheinhardt.   More Good Reading   More about Illegal Alien cover art index   Twitter Feed   Home Novels About Rob For Book Clubs Blog Search Short Stories Press Kit How to Write Facebook Buy Books Nonfiction E-mail Rob Canadian SF Twitter
