The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This week’s theme is a cover that features a religious icon or temple. For this I have gone with Wilbur Smith’s River God.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

And the winner is… COVER C!

The blue hue gives a cold and ominous feel to this cover. And for me, nothing comes to mind faster when I think of ancient Egypt than the pyramids.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme is a cover that is dark or forboding for the longest night of the year.
