Cover Art & Synopsis | Engine Man by Eric Brown (Solaris)

Once the Enginemen pushed bigships through the cobalt glory of the nada-continuum. But faster than light isn’t fast enough anymore. The interfaces of the Keilor-Vincicoff Organisation bring planets light years distant a simple step away. Then a man with half a face offers ex-Engineman Ralph Mirren the chance to escape his ruined life and push a ship to an undisclosed destination. The nada-continuum holds the key to Ralph’s future. What he cannot anticipate is its universal importance – nor the mystery awaiting him on the distant colony world.

Engineman is a thrilling action adventure by the author of Helix and Kéthani. Also in this volume are nine stories set in the Engineman universe, including the Interzone award-winning ‘The Time-Lapsed Man.’

Here's the cover for Engineman by Eric Brown, due from Solaris later this year (and pinched from their blog). There was another going around earlier this year, but it appears that this is now the final one. Personally I prefer it, the lighter tones and blue/yellow mix is really nice. Can't wait for this one!
