Space Laser Fires on City...
Cover Illustration for War God by Patrick F. Rogers, published in October 1990, depicting the future threat of a "Directed Energy Weapon" attacking earth from space. Nobody made more effective use of the color blue than G. Welker.
You can find the book here: War God at Goodreads.com
Gaylord's note on the lower left reads: "SF cover- Huge space laser fires on hapless city…"
The note reads: "Cover painting for the novel WAR GOD published by Kensington Press.
Painted in acrylics, the original size is 19" by 26".
The lower satellite is based upon published technical drawings, but the embellishments are mine.
-Gaylord Welker"
