PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Outline of the book:
The US President Thompson has been dreaming of his own death. A repeating nightmare that hounds him night after night that he can't ignore: something tells him it's not just a dream, it feels too real.
Thompson's doctor, military psychiatrist Josh Cain, is summoned to a church tower near the White House. He thinks he is there to talk down another suicidal ex-Marine. But the man he finds tells him of a plot to kill Thompson, revealing secrets he can't possibly have known - just seconds before a sniper's bullet takes him out . . .
Battles have been fought man to man, then machine to machine, and even in cyberspace. But now there is a different battlefield emerging: human consciousness and the fight for our minds.
Design approach:
We wanted to do something that is not very common in the thriller genre: a purely typographic cover design. Portraying the title literally as a typographic grid and only using black and white, the design seeks to infuse suspense.
We're grateful to the publishing house, who was brave enough to only let us mention the authors name on the spine, in order to arrive to a clean and powerful cover design.
