    Introducing HOT SLEEn, the man with the stance that never changes.

    What is that thing in the background? An accident between a meteor and a railway station? Some kind of musical instrument?

    Well the lady on the left is certainly hot. Ablaze, in fact. The artist must have a low opinion of himself, as our hero is treading on his name. And no TING! Every heroically wielded sword should have a TING!

    If this is what goes on in Worthing, I think I’ll retire to Eastbourne instead.

    I shudder to think what the cover artist would’ve made of ENDER’S GAME…

    Editor: “No! For God’s sake, don’t paint the shower fight!!”

    Artist: “But I thought you wanted nudity…”

    I think this cover was a result of a bet with the artist: “There’s no WAY you can get them to let you put THREE half-naked chicks on the cover!”

    re: the girl on the left

    I’ve just realised it’s not even “The Worthing Chronicles” (plural). That would sound historically important.

    It’s THE WORTHING CHRONICLE. Singular. Like a local newspaper. In West Sussex.

    Is it twins and triplets, twins, twins, and single, twins, single, single, single, triplets, single, single? Singles twice and thrice? Cloning? Multiple generations? Time travel? Flash backs? Flash forwards? Mirrors?

    Whatever you do, do NOT hire this artist for the cover of HAMLET’S FATHER.

    While the girl in the middle seems to be trying to cop a feel of the guy’s chest, while seeming to struggle, the guy in seems to be doing the same thing with her leg…”Mmm yes, mighty fine thighs you have here missy”.

    The burning girl looks to be somewhat anorexic. I guess she must “burn” a lot of calories :P

    Hey, I just noticed this is the same artist who painted the much earlier
    http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/2011/10/star-quest/

    Unfortunately all I can think of is:
    “He painted her nude!”
    “Nude?”
    “…
    He got better.”

    Actually, it looks like the same hero on that earlier book and this one, Hunky McCaptainkirk, only this one is more smoothly painted with better underlying anatomy.

    Nevertheless — Nghh. And I’m not sure I like the monochromatic colors, where his green pants and boots are all green and her pink outfit is all pink, etc.

    Hey, below right, is that Flash Gordon and – um, I guess, that naughty princess who was Ming the Merciless’s daughter? Because Dale Arden WOULD NOT wear that.

    I can never sleep when it’s hot. This is clearly one of those existentialist novels that explores the narrator’s deeply rooted psychological ennui.

    CLEARLY.
