Cover Unveiled for Robert J. Sawyer's Watch (WWW Trilogy Book 2)

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the image and the coloration and the fact the type is not a dominating factor. I've been a fan of Sawyer's for a number of years. His Calculating God is one of my favorite SF reads of all time. As readers of this blog know Sawyer's novel Flash Forward has been adapted by ABC as a series set to premiere this fall. I usually wait until Sawyer completes a series before picking them up though so it may be awhile on WWW. Watch (Book 1) was released about 2 months ago with a striking cover as well. Wake is schedule for April 2010 and the last Wonder is set for 2011.

ABC Flash Forward Series Picked-up for Series Run as follow-up to Lost

ABC has officially picked-up Flash Forward for a 13 episode order. The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news. This is very good news as most 1 hour series only get picked up for 6 episodes to start. The series will be based on the wonderful book Flashforward by Robert J. Sawyer. If you've never read Sawyer before so yourself a favor and pick-up Flashforward or Calculating God. There is no one better at Sci-Fi today. The series is talked about to follow Lost although it is very different other than both shows deal with time anomalies. Flash Forward takes place after a global incident in which every waking person blacks out and flashes on where they will be in 6 months for less than 3 minutes. This is a little different than the book in that people flash about 20 years in the future instead, but regardless it is a great premise and is rife for exploiting different character view points through out the world. If you knew what was going to happen to you would you try to change it or doing everything you can to keep it? Would trying to keep your supposed future change the very outcome?
