Tor.com Publishing is releasing three great novellas in January 2016, and we’re excited to show off the great artwork we’ve got to match them! One of these stories takes place entirely on a boat—this changes everything. Another story features a heist where the prize is science itself. And in the third story, some party guests have a bad reaction to a magical food additive—a very bad reaction…
January sounds fun. Check out all the cover art below!
All of these titles will be available worldwide in ebook, audiobook, and trade paperback.

From the catalog copy:
When the Dragon Ships began to tear through the trade lanes and ravage coastal towns, the hopes of the archipelago turned to the Windspeakers on Tash. The solemn weather-shapers with their eyes of stone can steal the breeze from raiders’ sails and save the islands from their wrath. But the Windspeakers’ magic has been stolen, and only their young apprentice Shina can bring their power back and save her people.
Tazir has seen more than her share of storms and pirates in her many years as captain, and she’s not much interested in getting involved in the affairs of Windspeakers and Dragon Ships. Shina’s caught her eye, but that might not be enough to convince the grizzled sailor to risk her ship, her crew, and her neck.
Patchwerk
David Tallerman
Illustrated by Tommy Arnold
Designed by Christine Foltzer

From the catalog copy:
Sometimes all you need is an infinite number of heroes
Fleeing the city on the TransContinental airship, Dran Florrian is traveling with the Palimpsest—the ultimate proof of a lifetime of scientific theorizing.
When a rogue organization attempts to steal the device, however, Dran takes drastic action.
But his invention threatens to destroy the very fabric of this and all other possible universes, unless Dran—or someone very much like him—can shut down the machine and reverse the process.

From the catalog copy:
At a Goblin Royal Wedding party a magical food additive turns the humans in the room into horny 6 foot lizards, and all they want to do is have sex.
With anything. For as long as they can.
And as lizard love isn’t something that interests Sin du Jour staff, something must be done, but the building’s magical defenses have kicked in, sealing off access to the outside world.
And finally, here are all three of the audiobook covers:
Holy cow, the cover for The Drowning Eyes is especially beautiful.
cant wait to read these…they all look amazing
Lustlocked cover scared me!!! That’s how good the cover is. :-)
Holy smokes those are some outstanding book covers!
I’m here because someone said there was a lovely “diverse” cover on Tor. It is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
“The Drowning Eyes” is something I must check out.
The cover for The Drowning Eyes is stunning.
Those covers are amazing, especially for The Drowning Eyes and Patchwerk. Not so sold on lizard sex, though. :P
However, a suggestion: put the covers and sample up at Amazon before releasing a blog post like this. You’ve almost pre-sold us with the covers – an engaging opening in an excerpt could have increased sales conversions for the pre-orders.
Once again, Peter Lutjen leaves me with my socks knocked off ! ! !
Style and humor, compelling imagery and wanting to know more about what’s going on inside that book.
Absolutely PERFECT cover ! ! ! !
Lustlocked! hilarious. Really digging the quirky look for this series.
WOW!. The cover for The Drowning Eyes is AMAZING! I would love to purchase it as a picture or poster. Is it available as one? If so, please let me know where I can obtain it.
