And I raise your stereotype with my light beam!Click for full image

Two words for you…. pirates vs kinky police officers. Well you know what I mean! Have the officers in long knee highs and holding a large batons. Have a large magic beam hitting a stereotypical pirate in the chest and him grimacing in pain. It’s almost too perfect.

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 6.70 out of 10)

    This has to be the most awkward book title ever.

    The author’s name is fairly unpronounceable at first glance. Unsure of which syllables need the emphasis.

    I read most of the Recluse saga books a number of years ago in my early teens, and picked up one or two of the later ones as they were released. And i will admit i loved them. I knew at the time they were extremely formulaic and the main characters in each book had identical personalities, and i even remember spoting a fair number of typos, but for whatever reason i enjoyed the very casual writing style. I don’t think i would enjoy a re-read, but they hold a special place in my heart because “The Magic of Recluce” was the first fantasy book i purchased with my own money after i borrowed Lord of the Rings off my brother.

    However, the covers on the books are some of the worst i’ve ever read in public, i’m not even sure i appreciated their badness at the time. If i bought this again, i wouldnt make eye contact with the shot assistant and it would be straight into a brown paper bag

    btw, I spy Adam Roberts’ “Swiftly”.

    It’s magic-using Nazis *and* brightly-colored pirates, all awkwardy posed in some of the least convincing sepia brown architecture this side of one of those miniature ceramic Christmas cottages.

    The characters on the cover look very much like miniatures, the sort used in RPGs…

    Which is of course the selling point — the target audience is more familiar with painted RPG miniatures than real people.
