A Distant Soil #4

Three striking figures dominate this evocative cover — a pale, white-haired youth gazes forward in the foreground, while a golden-crowned figure wreathed in flame stands center, and a fiery-haired figure in red looms watchfully behind them all, set against a luminous full moon. Collecting the *Coda* storyline, this 2005 Image trade paperback brings together Colleen Doran's celebrated *A Distant Soil* in a gorgeous new edition — praise from Hugo Award-winning author Joan Vinge printed right on the cover speaks to the series' reputation as both artistry and passion made manifest. If you've been looking for a beautifully crafted entry point into this beloved series, this handsome volume is exactly that.
