Finally … I can post the new cover for The Facade and its imminent sequel, The Portent.
Honestly, I didn’t like the cover art chosen for The Facade by Kirkdale, so this change (new designer) is quite welcome. The design and editorial team wanted both books to look like they belonged together, which of course makes sense. I think they did a great job. Here’s The Facade:
Notice the bottom text indicates a series. Yes, there will be at least one more. Now for The Portent:
The word “portent” refers to something ominous looming over the horizon — an omen. Hence the clock-face imagery, which I think is really cool.
For those who have read The Facade, here’s the back cover text for the sequel:
In case you can’t read the text, here it is:
The climactic ending of The Façade left Brian Scott and Melissa Kelley with only each other—and the terrible secrets they carry. The Portent finds them living together under new identities, their future clouded by constant fear of being exposed. By the time they learn they’re being watched, their carefully constructed lives will be over.
Follow Brian and Melissa into the center of an unthinkably vast conspiracy that spans centuries, crafted by a relentless evil bent on turning the faith of millions against itself. Revelations from ancient tombs, long-forgotten Nazi experiments, UFOs, occult mythologies, biblical theology, and technologies converge in answer to a terrifying question: Now that “they” are here, what do they want?
The Portent should be available in a week or so. Stay tuned!
Never been a reader of novels (I read exclusively Non-Fiction), but I will have to give this a read. Especially considering all the documents, texts, etc are real.
Covers are definitely better this time around, makes it more interesting.
yep; the new designer did a great job.
Michael, Great covers, very impressive. I will be reading The Facade again then the sequel. I have a review blog, see address in this post, and will be reviewing both there.
Looking forward to this immensely.
Regards
thanks!
Looking forward to it!
Me first! Me first!!
Well, there goes my summer free time! 🙂
I’ll probably have to spring for Kindle and hard copies of these editions….darn! They look good!
Looking forward to Brian and Melissa’s misadventures…
At long last we will have the sequel. Thanks a lot. Will the new edition of The Facade have the same features as the special edition (right now I only have the first edition and was wondering which one to upgrade with)?
Pax vobiscum
No – it won’t have the first five chapters of the sequel in the back, nor the bibliography. The latter will be going on a website for the book on the publisher’s site, but I’ll also be putting them on my a web page.
Covers look great. For a guy who ordinarily doesn’t read fiction, I am thoroughly enjoying the Facade. I can’t seem to put it down. I plan to read the sequel.
great; thanks! post a review at Amazon!
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover and The Facade speaks for itself. I can’t wait for The Portent.
The old saying, “The devil is in the details.” applies, and that’s an understatement.
tick tock tick tock.
still waiting on Amazon to post the book (aargghh!)
Mike, I just finished chapter 28 and am thoroughly enjoying. I peeked at the postscript and now want to finish the book this weekend so as to take your Hebrew detective challenge.
Thanks for the excellent work.
Thanks, John. Hope you enjoy it all! Have fun with the riddle. No one has gotten it correct yet.
