I’ve been champing at the bit to share this bit of beauty! Masterful veteran illustrator Tim Bradstreet has created the original art for the cover of my upcoming novel Star Trek: Section 31 – Disavowed. Gaze upon its ineffable coolness:

Keen observers might note details from Doctor Julian Bashir’s personnel file, as well as ghosted graphics from Geoffrey Mandel’s influential volume, Star Trek Star Charts.

In all seriousness, this is one of my favorites of all the covers that have ever graced one of my books. Now I just hope that my story lives up to the tremendous awesomeness of the work that Tim, the S&S art department, and editor Ed Schlesinger put into its cover.

I guess we’ll find out in October.
