The little head spikes cast no shadows. They were added as an afterthought, you know, because the turban/towel girl didn’t look sciencefictiony enough.
“Man’s most exciting adventure”, indeed.
Stop staring at me!! Strange woman with uneven eyes focused unevenly upon me! Back! Back I say! Good Lord woman, has Rex Gordon taught you no manners!?
Paw of God married Maw of God and birthed cock-eyed turban girl, and…what is this book even about? Vague blurb, creepy girl on cover. Not, repeat not, picking this up to find out. Stare all you want girl, I shall resist your powers!
@SI: according to WikiPaedia, it’s a pen-name. His birth name is Stanley Bennett Hough. The book has a pen-name too, ‘Paw of God’ is also known as ‘Utopia Minus X’. Here’s a review at GoodReads.Com that makes it sound as bland as the model’s expression.
Patsy Kensit’s claim that Weight Watchers has a new method seems strangely scary even without someone looking like her having extreme acupuncture and partial mummification in this picture.
And she seems to be inside a box of chocolates.
“Don’t you think we should emphasize that teaser copy a tiny bit more?”
“No, no, it already says ‘superb’ and ‘man’s most exciting adventure.’ It’ll speak for itself. Besides, remember how Susan was so stoned before the photoshoot that she put one of her arms through the neck hole of the sweatshirt? Talk about a happy accident! And just yesterday, Roger told me that he left some of the proofs lying about and his little nephew drew some really clever antennae on one of them. The mustachioed ones seemed like a bit much, but the antennae are just dynamite! We don’t need to gild the lily. Leave those teaser lines small. In fact, go ahead and move them so far up the cover that they’ll be nearly cropped off.
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts:
I am no orator, as Brutus is;
But, as you know me all, a plain, blunt man,
That love my friend. And eye makeup. And dramatic eyebrows. And lipstick. And silly hats.
Went to see the new star trek over the weekend. The new clothing style just made me think one thing. Baen Book Cover: http://t.co/0FKAAFiYYh:Click for Tweet:

Damn, I left out the “the”. Never mind, I’ll just…squeeze…it…in…here.
There. No one will notice.
This one is the embodiment of WTF, or possibly of “Whaaaaaaaa…..?”

Maybe The Maw of God would be more appropriate?

Little did they know…her ‘eyebrows’ wrapped through the turban and erupted out the top of her head!

Rex Gordon – Airline pilot, war hero, orphanage builder, ambassador, pipe smoker, author and all round jolly good chap!
Can’t confirm any of that… he just has that type of name!

Is it a “Shaggy Dog” story, or a “Shaggy God” story… or both??

Take your stinking paw off me, you damned dirty God!

@Dead Stuff – Wow… it’s almost like he didn’t want anyone finding him or the book! It’s that good!
I still don’t want to read about what the book is actually about. All I see right now is… interpretive dance!

The blurb makes such an extravagant claim in such tiny, tiny letters… it’s like it’s embarrassed.

She looks like one of the girls from a Daft Punk video.
