March to the Stars

Add comments

This maybe the wrong time, and I may be a goblin. But would you go out with me?Click for full image

What we shouldn’t have would be something like ships exploding covering most of the front cover as some four armed goblins fire a cannon. And some blonde women holding her gun as she surveys the scene. Then the title and authors in huge fonts! THEN quotes from reviews just in case we think it’s not busy enough! That’s what we shouldn’t have guys. Right, guys? …Right?

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neaaa, I\'ve seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It is somewhere in between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just Awful...I swear, that\\\'s my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Rating: 8.31 out of 10)

    Man my camera is so bad… I love the way it focused more on the packet of Monster Munch in the background.

    It looks like you’ve eaten the Monster Munch and then proceeded to be sick onto the book cover.

    haven’t had a Weber in a while, he never fails to impress.

    Sucks to be John Ringo, i bet he did all the work too

    I have no doubt that the Monster Munches were far more tasteful than this cover.

    CSA’s right, this just looks like pavement pizza on a book.

    So, who’s the blonde chick? And what is she doing with the demon look-a-likes?

    Are they preparing the pyrotechnicks for an upcoming celebration?

    Did they find out Si was getting a round in?

    Hey… What are you suggesting?

    So that’s two barcardi breezers and how many pints of Tenants?

    My eyes are bleeding. I can’t even focus on anything in this cover.

    hehe Cara, that’s pretty much what i said about the last Weber book we had (which is better than this one i think)

    He seems to favour the four armed dudes

    Any chance the author’s middle names are ‘Paul Georgean’?

    Si, I’m not a teenager (thank god).

    Red wine, Merlot if there’s a choice. Failing that, a pint of Magners thanks.

    Quite frankly, if today’s cover is going to be as bad as this one, perhaps I’ll just have to go for the hard stuff – vodka.

    Alright… I’m sure if we ever are bored enough to have an epic Good Show Sir drink-up, I’ll make sure to buy you a nice Merlot!

    And I’d prepare yourself… I have a bottle of whisky by my side…. ;)

    Ha ha, all those quotes are from booksellers’ trade publications.
