The U.K. cover just went online.

My thoughts:

The American cover looks better, but in my opinion they usually do. The blue and the bronze are by far the worst thing about the cover. They clash horendously. Jason and Percy (or at least the people who look a lot like Percy and Jason since you can never be 100% sure) are fighting on the Argo 2. They are actually crossing swords this time, so I think it's not too hard to imagine that Percy and Jason are going to be in conflict for most of the book. Does anyone know if the cover necisarily depicts a scene in the books? I know the American one does so I assume the U.K. one does too but confirmation would be appreciated.
