"There's something almost uncanny in
seeing things you've imagined, and only described in words,
depicted. It's even more unsettling to see them depicted
more clearly and vividly and accurately than you imagined
them. Stephan Martiniere's covers for my books have that effect
on me. They look as if he has taken a camera and a sketchbook
to these very worlds, and has seen more of them than I did. We should all be grateful for Martiniere's mind's eye."

Martiniere, is a collection of his sci-fi book cover paintings,

theme park motion ride design, video games and book cover art.
He helped design the worlds of I, Robot and Star
Wars Episodes II and III, and with his book covers makes fantasy worlds
come to life with a single image.

sketches and early versions of finished pieces, with descriptions
that give you an inside look into Stephan's creativity and
process.
