Here it is the newly tweaked cover for Heroes of the Fallen. To be released now in early 2010.
How about a couple reviews thus far.
"Heroes of the Fallen is a Book of Mormon historical that reads like an epic fantasy. It's not often that the LDS market sees something truly new, but West's debut novel really is different. It was refreshing. A breath of fresh air--and a lot of fun."
--Rob Wells
"David West’s debut novel, Heroes of the Fallen, will transport you into an epic tale comprised of the haunting historical events that eventually lead to the downfall of an entire civilization. Written with captivating characters and vivid descriptions of a grand culture, the powerful setting and poetic language make this novel a monumental retelling of the Nephites’ final years of existence."
—H.B. Moore, author of Abinadi and Alma

Sorry to hear about the delay. But the cover is great, and those quotes from Rob and Heather are super!
I like this one a lot!!! It looks fantastic!
Nice! I like this one even better. Sorry your publication date is pushed back, but I'm still looking forward to reading it. I can be patient, right?
Nichole
Impressive cover. I like it. Its a bit disappointing to have your publication date pushed back, but next year will be here before you know it.
This cover is lightyears ahead of the previous cover art. My biggest beef with the older cover art was that there wasn't as much negative space to make the shadows look really good. Honestly it was two blobs with weapons. This is way way waaay better! It's considerably more dynamic due to there being more diagonal lines such as the sword and spear. Also, showing more of the bodies adds a lot more to it. Overall the great amount of action fits the silouhette theme better. I also likes how it gets darker towards the top of the piece, giving better contrast and drawing your eyes to the title. Well done, I likey likey lots!
Even better, David. I can't wait to read your book!!!
Sorry to hear your publication date has been pushed back, but love the new cover. Way cool!
Thanks Everybody, I like it quite a bit better too.
Awesome reviews! Can't wait for your book to come out.
I can't remember the old cover! could you post it for comparison?
I'm also bitterly disappointed that your novel has been pushed back! I was so looking forward to it. Oh well! That probably happens a lot.
David, the cover rocks. It makes you want to dive right in. Theres conflict before you even open the book.
I like this one a lot, too, because it's more action-oriented and easier to see right off what the book is about. Do you really WANT to have the old one up for comparison? Or should we let it slip into oblivion?
Or should you quick make a color copy of it on nice paper at Kinko's and maybe it will be worth lots of money someday lol?
I still have a couple of my promo cards wth the old cover so I hve the old cover mementos that I planned on keeping butyeah I wouldn't mind somenew ones either.
Love the cover. Dynamic!
Now I can't remember what the other cover looked like, but I'm pretty sure I like this one better. :)
The cover really captures the world that you will present to the reader. It fits the idea of what is in your epic. The wheels grind slow for your release, but anything worth waiting for is worth waiting a little longer for.
I am so excited about this book! And I'm not just saying that cause you're my brother-in-law! I can't wait to read it!!
Thanks everybody its coming
Love the cover. Cant wait to read the book.
