Ken MacLeod cover gallery

Ken MacLeod is a Scottish SF author, one of the wave of British authors who began appearing in the 1990s that include Charles Stross, Stephen Baxter, Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds and Adam Roberts. A fine writer who deserves a gallery here. I also like cover artist Lee Gibson and ran a little gallery of the 'Engines of Light' trilogy hardcover jackets back in June 2008.

What actually prompted this little gallery was that I've just noticed a curiosity regarding MacLeod's Dark Light where the front cover is a rotated version of the hardcover dustjacket image (above). Moving the author's name down from the top header and onto the image, means that the spaceship would be entirely covered up, so they've turned the image 90 degrees. The back cover and spine is another extract from the original. Scroll down to see how it turned out.
