Cover Characteristics is a meme by Sugar and Snark- every week a characteristic is selected and we post 5 books with that week's theme.
This week's pick- Retro
Going rogue again- this week I am taking a look at books with retro covers. And since SciFi Month begins tomorrow I'm getting a bit of an early start as these are all SF books.

A favorite cover of mine.
This isn't really a retro cover as it's a fairly new release, but it has that retro feel for me.
Love the cover- and especially the city in the bottom right corner, which is easy to miss.
