A Great Find, A Late Re-Showing


I say this mostly because it came out of this week’s Cover Art Coverage
and, well, I already had two post on the day that I found it, and felt this was better timing--on my part.

Without further ado
I give you a great ass cover, so good, in my eyes, that I just had to show it off myself.


Pulse by Patrick Carman
(Pulse #1)
Expected Publication: 26th of February 2013 by Katherine Tegan Books
YA

From New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman, a teen fantasy-adventure of epic proportions. In 2051, some teens have a “pulse,” the power to move objects with their minds. Compulsively readable, with thrilling action scenes and a tender love story.

The year is 2051, and the world is still recognizable. With the help of her mysterious classmate Dylan Gilmore, Faith Daniels discovers that she can move objects with her mind. This telekinetic ability is called a “pulse,” and Dylan has the talent, too.

In riveting action scenes, Faith demonstrates her ability to use her pulse against a group of telekinesis masters so powerful they will flatten their enemies by uprooting street lights, moving boulders, and changing the course of a hurtling hammer so that it becomes a deadly weapon. But even with great talent, the mind—and the heart—can be difficult to control. If Faith wants to join forces with Dylan and save the world, she’ll have to harness the power of both.

Patrick Carman’s Pulse trilogy is a stunning, action-filled triumph about the power of the mind—and the power of love
 
 
Yeah, I’m at a point, in my mesmerizement of this cover that if it were on sale now, I would be tempted to go out and get it, just so I can have the thing on my shelf.
I honestly can't wait to see what the next tow covers will be like (as long as they don't stamp is as generic)
