...or maybe it's just one of his friends, stomping towards us out of David Wyatt's lovely new cover artwork for the fancy hardback edition of Scrivener's Moon. Why is he carrying that dirty big sword when Stalkers have perfectly good claws, you might ask? Well, the Movement's armies in the north have a commander who's a bit of a traditionalist; his elite troops have always carried blades forged from the wreckage of enemy landships, and he doesn't see any point in changing that custom, even though they're now cyborgs with their own built-in weaponry...
There's more of David's artwork on display at his own blog, here.
