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 Friday Face-Off theme is a cover featuring a space-based aerial encounter. For this theme I picked Abaddon’s Gate by James S.A. Corey.

And the winner is… COVER C! I was drawn to this one. The simple colour palette was somehow striking, and it almost looks as though the ship is flying through the floating wreckage of other ships.

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 showing an alien encounter: “we come in peace”.
