I personally saw nothing wrong with the UK covers for Nod by Adrian Barnes, but I really, really like the design for the cover of the US release coming later this year. Check out the large version after the jump.

Here’s the synopsis:

Dawn breaks over Vancouver and no-one in the world has slept the night before, or almost no-one. A few people, perhaps one in ten thousand can still sleep, and they’ve all shared the same golden dream. A handful of children still sleep as well, but what they’re dreaming remains a mystery. After six days of absolute sleep deprivation, psychosis will set in. After four weeks, the body will die. In the interim, panic ensues and a bizarre new world arises in which those previously on the fringes of society take the lead. One couple experience a lifetime in a week as he continues to sleep, she begins to disintegrate before him, and the new world swallows the old one whole…

This sounds like a variation on “Sleep Donation” and “Black Moon.” Meaning, YES, I will read it.

Ah, good! Enjoyed that book a couple of years ago. Glad to see it getting a new look and a new push. Love the new cover. But I’m pretty sure it’s already had a US release.
