Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme at Books by Proxy. Join us every Friday as we pit cover against cover, and publisher against publisher, to find the best artwork in our literary universe. You can find a list of upcoming topics at Lynn's Books.
This week's topic is:
Horizon – “Your “beautiful” ship killed its crew, Doctor.”
Horizon was a fun topic to try to track down and I ended up deciding on The Red Wolf Conspiracy by Robert V.S. Redick because I think the U.S. edition that I read has a fantastic example of an ocean-based horizon. The rest of these covers vary a decent bit, but I love the theme that inhabits all of them! There weren't a lot of different covers to showcase, but I still think it's a good variety.
2009 US Hardcover | 2008 UK Hardcover | 2010 US Mass Market
My choice(s):
I'm more drawn to the UK Hardcover on the right, but I do think the US one reflects the slightly more adventurous spirit of the story and the inclusion of the sword makes it more fun. But I seriously still love the blues and the ships in the UK one!
What cover(s) do you like the most!?

For some reason that Czech edition immediately stood out for me. There are several I really love but that's my favorite 😁
ReplyDeleteI like the US hardcover version - it totally feels like the reader is heading off into the sunset for an adventure!
