'Magnus Chase And The Gods Of Asgard: The Hammer Of Thor' By Rick Riordan Gets Official Cover

John Rocco has done it again! Coming back to do the art of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor, Rocco has once again outdone himself. I like it very much as the color palette has been maintained. And to think the new cover has been released as few days before The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle hit shelves among English readership.

So can't wait for The Hammer of Thor... I can see that most readers are more excited with this one rather than The Hidden Oracle. Of course we already know how good the first Magnus Chase book was and we are still a little skeptical about The Trials of Apollo, even if we are going to see more of the original Percy Jackson cast.

Check out the new cover of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan.

And by the way, did you notice that the covers are like tryptich puzzle, albeit vertical and may need color adjustments....

So in the next book cover we can expect the foot of a mountainous range?

Synopsis

Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon--the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki--and the price he wants is very high.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan will hit bookstores on October 4, 2016.

The smash hit An Ember in the Ashes is getting a sequel and it's going to be release this year!  And more than four months prior the release we get to see the new design for the cover.

John Grisham To Publish 'The Whistler' In October 2016, Cover And Plot Synopsis Revealed

I was craving for more John Grisham legal thrillers when I finished reading his book Rogue Lawyer, featuring Sebastian Rudd. It was an intense read, especially knowing that the author had fantasies on working as a lawyer the way the main character did. But the one thing I didn't like immediately is the new cover design. It does not match with the last few books' design and it makes me grumpy.

For his next book, I am crossing my fingers that the design "continuity" will be respected. At least that is true for the UK edition of his upcoming book titled The Whistler. The US edition of the cover is not yet released so I am halfhearted at the moment.... I think the new design will stick seeing they maintained the typeset in the cover of the author's new e-story titled Partners.

Updated: I am happy to see that the US edition cover is back with the format and typeset that I used to love. Check out the cover!

Synopsis

On the heels of the runaway success of Rogue Lawyer, John Grisham delivers the high-octane suspense that readers have come to expect from the master of the legal thriller.

With his latest novel, John Grisham takes his irresistible blend of legal savvy and page-turning storytelling to a whole new level. Filled with an unforgettable cast of characters and Grisham's trademark twists and turns, readers will be kept guessing until the very last page.

The name John Grisham is synonymous with thrilling tales of legal tangles and moral quandries, of brilliant excitement and harrowing suspense. Ken Follett called him 'the greatest thriller writer alive,' and the public agrees - best-seller has followed upon best-seller since he published The Firm more than two decades ago.

And the newest John Grisham will blow everyone away.

America's greatest storyteller brings us a new masterpiece of legal courage and gripping suspense.

The Whistler by John Grisham will hit bookstores on October 25, 2016.
