Cover art for the Canadian edition of R. Scott Bakker's THE WHITE-LUCK WARRIOR


Not sure I really like this one. . .

Here's the blurb:

As Anasûrimbor Kellhus and his Great Ordeal march ever farther into the perilous wastes of the Ancient North, Esmenet finds herself at war with not only the Gods, but her own family as well. Achamian, meanwhile, leads his own ragtag expedition to the legendary ruins of Sauglish, and to a truth he can scarce survive, let alone comprehend. Into this tumult walks the White-Luck Warrior, assassin and messiah both, executing a mission as old as the World’s making …

The White-Luck Warrior is a story filled with heart-stopping action, devious treachery, grand passion and meticulous detail. It is both a classic quest tale and a high fantasy war story.

It makes it look a bit like a Guy Gavriel Kay novel, and there's no pouty photoshopped guy swinging a sword from whithin the depths of his cloak, so I'm okay with it!

It's better than the picture of the psycho guy from King Kong's Island on the cover I've seen!

I wonder if this is supposed to be the circumfix? Or am i way off on this one? Also, the script in the back looks a little asian influenced... I think they should have a more middle eastern/arabic script. This one is better than the american edition with the guy/girl wearing eyeliner.

I hate the U.S. Cover art on the Hardback. I love the art on the Trade paperbacks.
