Great imaginative piece that encapsulates the larger ideas and concepts of the novel and series.

Very nice prelim! I actually think it is a stronger image than the final cover. I suspect Whelan got "art directed" ; )

That's quite a "prelim." I like it better than the final cover, even if I understand why they went with that one. It works better with the final design with the title. But yours has more of that sci-fi whimsy I want to see with an Asomov cover. Beautiful piece. Congrats!
