Book cover with the words, “The first voyage in the Seafort saga,” and “Midshipman's Hope” at the top. The centre is dominated by an abstract spacecraft, partially overlaid with a disconnected picture of a saluting military officer. Near the bottom of the cover are the words, “Reads like a collaboration between Heinlein and C.S. Forester… I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a space adventure this much--Dived Gerrold,” “David Feintuch,” and, “Winner of the John W Campbell award.”
