As always, I went for a less literal depiction, but this time decided to go for a more minimalist style. The title treatment plus the graphics offer a glimpse into the story, while staying away from time travel and Nazi-themed cliches.")

Instead of a generic representation of the main character's clairvoyance (e.g. eyes), I opted to incorporate a ring of fire which is also in line with an important vision the character will have in the story. In the background is the silhouette of the sea capital, the entire cover darkened to give off an ominous and apocalyptic vibe. The result is a cover that draws the reader's attention straight to the title.")

Instead of literally incorporating a flag, I opted to interpret the author's vision of the cover. The single triskelion and the strong typography gives a more definite and interesting focal point, without being too busy. The colors were initially same as flag's, but the darker blue background with space effect gives the cover a more futuristic dystopian scifi feel, which the author prefers.")

The title seemed like a good opportunity to create an interesting visual that would wrap around the full. Also reading the first chapter up on the author's website, I decided to represent the \"nuclear winter that consumed the world\" with a color palette that evokes a dark and cold feeling.")
