OK, I understand why tor.com chooses to use the original cover for their review of Andre Norton and Sherwood Smith's Atlantis Endgame, but part of me wishes they'd used my cover for it.

(The agency that holds the rights to Norton's works contacted me for this and and a few other books, since I have done covers for a lot of Smith's works.)

Your cover is way, WAY better.

Your cover, gorgeous.

(The original, not horrible as covers go, but wow it looks dated now.)

Thank you! Yeah, it's definitely Of Its Time. And I think the worst thing is that you can't tell from a glance that it's time travel, and not fantasy historical. (which is what I was going for with a wave at an hourglass shape and the clock above--the previous book in the series had the time travel happen via a glowing pearl-like orb, which I put on the cover, and had this one be a portal, to continue the orb-like theme.)

Yeah, the original cover is very late 90s/early 2000s.

(Also, original designer, you are allowed more interesting fonts I promise!)
