Fantasy Book Critic: Cover reveal: Mercury Rising by R.W.W. Greene

Title: Mercury Rising Author: R.W.W. Greene Publisher: Angry Robot Books Release Date: 10 May 2022 Cover Designer: David Leehy Pre-order link: Amazon

ABOUT THE BOOK: Even in a technologically-advanced, Kennedy-Didn’t-Die alternate-history, Brooklyn Lamontagne is going nowhere fast. The year is 1975, thirty years after Robert Oppenheimer invented the Oppenheimer Nuclear Engine, twenty-five years after the first human walked on the moon, and eighteen years after Jet Carson and the Eagle Seven sacrificed their lives to stop the alien invaders.

Brooklyn just wants to keep his mother’s rent paid, earn a little scratch of his own, steer clear of the cops, and maybe get laid sometime in the near future. Simple pleasures, right? But a killer with a baseball bat and a mysterious box of 8-track tapes is about to make his life real complicated…

Today, we have the pleasure to co-host the cover reveal for R.W.W. Green's upcoming, alternative history novel with aliens, an immortal misanthrope, and SF tropes aplenty. Such a great and cool design is a nice way to celebrate Angry Robot's new logo & rebranded website.
