Duc d'Enghien Images

In 2006 at Los Angeles Worldcon I did a panel with Ian W. Straughan, an exceptionally talented artist, who became a reader (and apparently a fan) of my Dark Wing universe books. Later that year I received several images in my mailbox which (Ian claims) he “knocked together” based on descriptions in the book. This is the carrier Duc d’Enghien.

This may be no big deal for Ian, but I’m amazingly impressed. The full images are significantly larger. The sensor array is shown spanning the areas between the fighter launch bays (the long tube structures that sprout from the main hull). The main bridge is aft of the foremost two launch bays.
