Though it's written in Arabic, and can only be found in the middle east. And as far as I can tell, the publisher's website is inaccessible from the US. And the artwork was stolen without my knowledge or consent.

It's amazing, they just cropped the image a little, and didn't even remove the full URL. The publisher seems to be old and well-respected in the middle east. I'm at a loss to explain why they'd publish such obviously stolen art.
So what's an artist to do? I have a feeling my options are limited due to the international nature of this theft. I doubt that I'd be able to recover damages, but I'll be talking to my lawyer just to be sure. I'll be sure to update as the case develops.
In a way, I'm feeling like I've arrived. Now I can swap stolen art horror stories with the cover artists I meet at sci-fi conventions. Also, I can add book covers to my list of services now.
I just wish I knew what the title of the book was.
