That's a sweet cover for "Perfect Memory."

This design is typical for that publishing house, or at least for their crime/thriller novels.

M from twitter (https://twitter.com/kapalat) sent me this Russian cover for TJE!

Russian covers of The Second Apocalypse: https://www.reddit.com/r/bakker/comments/3irg42/russian_covers_of_bakkers_works/

Oh dear. Now I know that Russian books usually have rather strange covers, but what they did to the titles is... how to put it... atrocious? TDTCB is translated as "Servants of the dark lord", TWP is "Warrior of a/the bloody war" (there are no articles in Russian, hence a/the), TTT is "Downfall of a/the holy city", JE is quite OK ("Eye of a/the judge") and WLW is "Warrior of good luck".

I did the google translate and got "servants of the dark lord" was hoping someone here would tell me otherwise :/

[Alia]

Nope. While I can't say I speak Russian (not anymore), I can still read it and understand it quite well. I suppose those are typical titles thought-up by the marketing department - we have a fair share of them over here, too. They don't have to be exact translations of the original, it's nice if they have anything to do with the plot, the main thing is - they must be catchy (what the marketing department think is catchy, that is).

i think the French translation of TTT is "When Sorcerers Sing" which is pretty cool imo

[Alia]

BTW, the heading on the top of the TDTCB cover says "Sword & Sorcery", while the one on the last three is "Black fantasy". The one on the TWP seems to be "King of fantasy" (or it might be plural "Kings of fantasy"), but the first part in Cyrillic script is a bit smallish so I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.

Whoa. That one's actually pretty awesome.

[EkyannusIII]

Agreeing, that is a great cover.

[Wilshire]

Can anyone read the cover of that book I posted? Wondering if its an ARC of some kind, what with that white bar at the bottom. Reminds me of the backs of the english ARCs I've got

[Madness]

The Chinese one? That's just further advertising. It's like a partial cover that fits over the book. Might advertise Bakker, the publisher, another book.
