Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars by Nick James: IMPROVED COVER

I usually don't post about covers much, but I am SO EXCITED about this book, so I make exceptions ;). So at BEA in May, I was so happy when I managed to get an ARC of Skyship Academy by Nick James. I thought it sounded absolutely brilliant. I saw the ARC cover, and absolutely loved it. Now, the cover is even more improved and looks quite snazzy.

Also! Here is more about Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars, had you not already heard.

A devastated Earth’s last hope is found in Pearls: small, mysterious orbs that fall from space, and are capable of supplying enough energy to power entire cities. Battling to control the Pearls are the Skyship dwellers—political dissidents who live in massive ships in the Earth’s stratosphere—and the corrupt Surface government.
Jesse Fisher, a Skyship brat, and Cassius Stevenson, a young Surface operative, cross paths when they both venture into forbidden territory in pursuit of Pearls. Their chance encounter triggers an unexpected reaction, endowing each boy with remarkable—and dangerous—abilities that their respective governments would stop at nothing to possess. Enemies thrust together with a common goal, Jesse and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth about their new powers, the past they didn’t know they shared, and a shocking secret about the Pearls.

PLUS I totally just found out that JAMES DASHNER blurbed this book, and I usually don't care about blurbs that much but it is JAMES DASHNER, like hello? He says "A definite must-read!" so that is rather snazzy.
