Cover art for the UK mass market paperback edition of Carte Blanche has been revealed and it's VERY different. Kind of a nice surprise, but I expect people will have some pretty strong opinions about this. I scored a larger version from Hodder, so check it out here:

Again, a very cool UK cover....even if it has no relevance to the actual book.

Dumb cover. The car in the desert with the cross-crossed tracks and the lame movie of the week tagline.

What we need is a little less CB and a little more new book.

Well, first thing I thought about with that cover was 'Quantum Of Solace'...don't know why...!

It's different, but...somehow stlyish and Bond-ian.

I'm happy to see people/fans seem to like this cover. I really wasn't sure what the reaction would be as it is so different.

Could be a cover for any old generic thing.

Fair enough, Carte Blanche is any old generic thing.
