I wanted to really visualize Tierra Nueva, from the factory district to the skyscrapers of Sparta Island. So for the cover of Different Worlds, I wanted something that showed what Mars looks like from the ground, rather than the stars-and-planet theme of the main series covers. And while Fourth World felt big in scope, with a mystery that spanned two worlds and two times, Different Worlds narrows the focus tightly on Tierra Nueva and the people Isaak left behind when he passed through the time postern. For another thing, the tone of the book is also different – it’s a lot darker than the rest of the series. For one thing, though it’s set in the same universe, it features two totally different narrators than the main series: Henry and Tamara, two secondary characters from the first book. Like the title suggests, Different Worlds is a different sort of book than my first novel, Fourth World, was. It cannot get here fast enough.īut before we get to the cover, Lyssa is here to give us some insight into the cover design, made by the great Najla Qamber! And this cover reveal we’re having? Is for a novella, Different Worlds, which stars my favourite Fourth World character, Henry! (he even shares Viral Airwaves‘ main character’s name!) Mark your calendars for September 20. And exclusive, which feels like such an honour, because Lyssa is one of my favourite writer in the whole damn world (as an author and as a person). Sit tight, everyone, because I have something amazing today.
