The original book cover for Trident's Flame

As I thought about self-publishing I came up with a version of a book cover.  This was it.

Trident volcano is in the background, viewed from Kodiak island.  Another trident is used to portray the connection with the Navy SEAL emblem, also called a Trident, and it is in flames.  Since the original mission to Alaska was known as Firehot-19 for the effect of the biologic acid produced by the plant found by the underwater volcanic vents, flames and fire are central to the story.

The central symbol has become a kind of logo for the Jake Sloan Adventures.  Each book will have its own color combination.
