Tor Books elected to go with Raymond Swanland for this one, which was a very good idea. I love Swanland's work, and I feel he should have been called upon to paint one of those new WoT covers before Towers of Midnight (Canada, USA, Europe).
I like the cover art. Problem is, the man on the cover looks nothing like the true Perrin would look like. This forty-something, battle-hardened veteran soldier with biceps that would put the Incredible Hulk to shame looks nothing like the Perrin depicted by Jordan/Sanderson's narrative.
It captures that particular scene extremely well, however.
