Cover Unveiled for John Twelve Hawk's The Golden City

This is the third and final volume of The Fourth Realm series by John Twelve Hawks. I loved The Traveler when it was first released. The 2nd book The Dark Realm was only OK, so I hope Hawks can pull it out to close strong. Right now I don't care much for this cover given the beautiful work Doubleday has already done with the first 2 books in the series. But what's always sold me in the end is the finishing touches they've done on the books. The first had a pinstripe effect all over the jacket, which gave it a great effect and feel while the second had a die-cut in the jacket to reveal an image casebound around the whole book. So I'll hold judgement until I see the final printed book.

P.S. The black dots on the cover may turn out to be a die-cut like they had on The Dark River.
