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…”

“What can I say… magical fire works great at being pants… doesn’t do bra’s though.”

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
Space herpes suck.

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 😛

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.”
March 16th, 2012 at 1:36 am
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.
July 3rd, 2015 at 1:12 pm
“Hot sleep”, eh? Never heard that euphemism before.

“Have I mentioned I am heterosexual today?”
August 5th, 2015 at 6:57 am
Check out the bulge on the little guy and you’ll know why the girl saying “Is that a phaser in your pocket or are you just glad to see my new suit?”
August 5th, 2015 at 8:22 pm
People most likely read HOT SLEEP in a cold bed… if you know what I mean and I think you do.
July 8th, 2016 at 11:51 am
Sleep so hot it brought down the web site. 🙁 Welcome back!

I was expecting Flashback Friday: Technical Difficulties
July 8th, 2016 at 1:42 pm
Are they going to bed in a sauna or something with their Hot Sleep? Or maybe the nude woman’s going to bed on the cover – Coneheads-bed style.

A naked woman on fire. This looks like a job for…..THE FIRECLOWN!

There’s a naked woman on fire . . . UNDERWATER. It is actually possible for fire to burn underwater, but only under certain conditions that I am quite certain are not present in this picture.
Also, apparently all these people secretly have gills, or whatnot. Because, again, they are underwater.

She’s not on fire, she is stepping through a rift in the fabric of literary spacetime. Probably coming from the Piers Anthony dimension.

The book follows Jesus Whiteguy, also known as Jazz, who is a boy growing up on Jerusalem, the capitol planet of the Roman Empire. Jazz has “the virgin birth”, which is a genetic trait that allows for telepathy. The virgin birth is feared in the Roman Empire, so those who possess it are executed. After being found out as a virgin, Jazz tries to escape, which leads to his capture by Apostle Paul, who helps him rise to prominence as a space pilot. Eventually, Apostle sends Jesus away as the head of a Utah so that the virgin birth would become more widespread, but when his ship reaches the planet, he is attacked, and the memories of all but one of the three-hundred eleven colonists are destroyed and two-third of the colonist are killed or damaged beyond awakening. Jesus prevails, however, leading to the survival of the Utah, which he visits every several years, being on Heaven the rest of the time. Eventually, Apostle Paul comes and sees how Jesus has done, and after Paul leaves, Jesus takes his ship to the bottom of the ocean.

@Bibliomancer—thank goodness I had Chinese GSS to turn to yesterday.

This could become a popular sport. Men sword-fight one-handed while carrying a bikini babe on their shoulders.

“I’m telling you, Biff, move your head. Now!”
July 10th, 2016 at 12:39 pm
I still want to know what is that thing in the background, but I suppose I really should relax.
July 11th, 2016 at 3:03 am
Can’t say I’m wildly impressed by this ‘Elektra Woman and Dyna-Girl’ reboot.
