yes it would…if only there were some way to perform a search on this site – then one could see if the book, and its smokin’ cover, had already been sneakily added – hidden like a royal blue Easter Egg waiting to be found, in the Underground….
but you didn’t hear this from me… :whistle:

Good spot ! :cheer:
Another great cover ! 🙂
January 22, 2011 at 9:30 am #1720Mateo LatosaKeymasterOops, I didn’t know about the search function. If I had, I would have called it Fenix. The easter egg was actually a period with a link in the COMING IN 2011 section after the listing for Phoenix.
I plan on putting up more easter eggs, but I’ll be more clever about it next time!
Please remember, this is just the preliminary cover. ITV may request changes or ask for a wholly new cover. We’ve put up preliminary covers in the past, often radically different from the final versions.
Nice though, isn’t it?!
January 22, 2011 at 9:42 am #1721JohnParticipantPoM Novel Cover-
:woohoo:
Oh my frakkin gods…er,uh…M.U.F.s !
That cover is just so cool ! No wonder you said it was “smoooking”. Kinda reminds me of that sequence from The Empire Strikes Back when Luke crashed his shot-up snowspeeder before that on coming Imperial walker. Sure hope the ‘Powers-That-Be’ allow you to keep that novel cover. Very dramatic.
January 22, 2011 at 10:13 am #1722Mateo LatosaKeymasterAh, the things we do to keep you all happy…
Happily, keeping you happy makes us happy too! Mysterious handprints, surprising plot twists, easter eggs, hints and revelations of the unfolding mythology peppered throughout the books, keeping secret the names of our foreword contributors, and teasing the hell out of everyone with little tidbits of info on upcoming books. All in a day’s work here at Powys. 😛
January 22, 2011 at 12:40 pm #1724Glenn McCrabbParticipantJust plain evil, that’s what it is. All this teasing and hinting making us look for easter eggs…

Just a bit. 😛
January 22, 2011 at 3:16 pm #1728Ally DaviesParticipantdid someone mention Easter Eggs…I LOVE chocolate :laugh:
January 22, 2011 at 3:30 pm #1729Ally DaviesParticipantwell it took me awhile…but I got there in the end 😆

Easter egg=Easter bunny=rabbits=”Cargo”/Ernst Linden=rabbits digging holes where they shouldn’t=releasing things that are meant to be kept hidden Underground
Eureka!
or another… (which I’d be willing to bet mirrors the editor’s thinking 😉 )
Phoenix of Megaron=Rhoda=rescue=Helena hearing digging=tunnel that comes from Underground that leads to Hyria
Voila!

[quote]well it took me awhile…but I got there in the end :lol:[/quote]Likewise! What a cover! Superb! Batman in the Alley… where would Powys be without Ken Scott? REALLY fantastic to see this. Thanks Mateo, you fiendishly fiendish… uh… fiend you! Haha! :laugh: 😉
January 22, 2011 at 11:15 pm #1745Steve FosterParticipantThe Cover to PoM is now my Desktop Wallpaper. Looks VERY cool! :cheer:
January 25, 2011 at 1:23 am #1786Chris DaltonParticipantI’m certainly looking forward to Phoenix Of Megaron. I am curious as to how it will be re-written to fit into the official Space:1999 canon and Powysuniverse guidelines.
February 4, 2011 at 12:08 am #1872Mateo LatosaKeymasterI’ve just sent the back cover text to Ken Scott. Now he can start putting together the full cover (front back spine).
