Okay, the Manual of Aeronautics comes out August 21, a mere three months and a bit from now, so it’s time to start the art reveals!
In keeping with tradition, let’s have us a vote. I’ve chosen three possible pieces of art to reveal, so choose wisely.
Which would you rather see in glorious color?
1) The bridge of the Leviathan
2) A Sultan’s elephant walker
3) A fléchette bat!
Use the comments thread below to vote (by number makes it easier), or simply to cajole, convince and coerce your fellow commenters about how they should vote.
Sydneysiders! Don’t forget that Justine, Isobelle Carmody and I will be at the Sydney Writers Festival this Sunday. Come see us talk. It’s free!
A Neverending Story: Fantasy Worlds
Sunday, May 20
11:30AM-12:30PM
Scott Westerfeld, Isobelle Carmody, Justine Larbalestier, and Joy Lawn (facilitator)
Sydney Dance 4, Pier 4/5, Hickson Road, Walsh Bay
From steampunk to the supernatural, from urban fantasies to dystopian futures, our love affair with speculative fiction is all-consuming.
Three authors who create imagined worlds explore our enduring fascination with fantasy and unpick the complexities of the genre. Isobelle Carmody, Scott Westerfeld and Justine Larbalestier talk to Joy Lawn.
Here are the online details for this event.

BAT BAT BAT BAT!
I might be mildly obsessed with bats… I might have stopped reading for a moment the first time I read Leviathan to celebrate the fact that bats weren’t being used as an evil character or as something to be feared.
Umm… yes. Bats, please!
#1! It would be great to see one of the bats, but the bridge, oh, I’m swooning just thinking about it.
3–Bat!
I hope the 26 1s on comment 74 aren’t all counted.
