Cover Designer: Drake Valley Press (staff)
Comments about cover design
The cover shows a merchant vessel on the open seas against a vibrant sunrise. In the foreground is a pendulum. The orange and red colors signify a sailor’s old saying, “Red sky at morning, heed the warning” and the merchant vessel represents the plot of the book, where vessels heading from China to the United States are being systematically blown up on the open seas. Psychic spy Vicki Boyd hears a pendulum and is in a race against the enemy to locate it’s source. The author worked with cover designer Donna Coomer and the staff at Drake Valley Press to come up with this breathtaking cover. The photograph of the ship on the high seas was taken by Nightman.
