The Russians are coming

[pbray]

Here's the cover for the Russian language edition of DEVLIN'S JUSTICE (Правосудие Девлина) which was released in July.


Once again they've completely changed the style from the previous covers. But it's still pretty cool, and even cooler to find message boards discussing the works of Патриция Брей (Patricia Bray).



Cover for DEVLIN'S HONOR (BOOK TWO):

COVER FOR DEVLIN'S LUCK (BOOK ONE):



THE FIRST BETRAYAL will also be appearing in a Russian language edition. Will be interesting to see what they make of that one.

Oh, neat! I do note, however, that the first one was translated not as "Devlin's Luck" but as "Devlin's Choice." Was there a reason behind it, or just a translationing glitch?

Thanks for letting me know, that's very interesting.

I suspect it was a deliberate choice--titles are one of those things that don't necessarily translate word for word across languages/cultures. I wasn't consulted about it, although the translator did contact me for information on the linguistic roots of the names and special terms I'd invented, which is very rare. Most times the author doesn't have any input into the translation and must simply admire the finished product when it arrives in her mailbox.
