30 Covers, 30 Days: Day 25
Today’s cover was created in 24 hours by the ingenious Jamie Keenan:
Lancer’s War by Tom Martin (Note: As always, we list authors by their username rather than their full name. The name requested by the author for his book cover was Tom Olivier-Martin).
No one can predict the future.
There was no apocalypse that ravaged the planet, no global disaster. The near collapse of humanity came from the apathy and depravity that has always defined us. The last megacorporations are now pivotal to humanity’s survival, specializing in resource recycling, agriculture and energy, the secrets of which are highly coveted and incredibly well guarded. It would seem that war would be inevitable, but a new sort of global conflict has arisen.
Enter the Lancers, mercenaries that pilot massive cyborgs, sponsored by governments and private organizations. They fight for the access rights to the megacorporation’s resources, dueling in gladiatorial-style combat, at once both a source of great entertainment for the masses and the only hope some countries have of re-emerging from this new age of poverty.
Ethan and Chloe are up-and-coming Lancers, orphaned twins that were raised and bred to be the best. All seems well in their world until they meet Rana, a secretive and anti-social girl that might just be the best Lancer anyone has ever seen, but whose true nature might tear them apart. And even as they struggle to consolidate their differences, the war of the Lancers will take its toll and cost them more than they could ever imagine.
Will they survive the true price of being a Lancer, or will it destroy them, like it has so many others before?
No one can predict the future.
