If you really like it, I recommend see Japanese cover(thread title) in this Thread(Repairman Jack Main Forum). I did many Japanese covers attached there. And tell me your impressions.

Bastard Wrote:I liked them alot, Kenji. I really like the expressivenes of the Illustrations, and the color palettes convey the intensity of the books.
I've been a huge fan of Japanese illustration for years. My favorite artists are Yoshitaka Amano, Hiroaki Samura, Yukito Kishiro and a few others...

Kenji Asakura Wrote:Yes,those artists does nice work. Do you have some Japanese editions?
And, don't forget about translator. All of Repairman Jack series is translated by Keisuke Otaki. If he doesn't translate, I can't read RJ novels. I still waiting for translated The Hosts.

Terry Willacker Wrote:I read Conspiracies a couple of years ago. It was the first FPW book I read. Now that I've read almost everything he has written, including the Adversary Cycle and all the RPJ books except Crisscross, I should go back and read Conspiracies again. It will probably seem like a very different book now.
