Thanks to Nix who says:
_Patterns of Chaos_ is a slightly famous book with a lot of amazing setpiece scenes which could have been used for the cover, starting with the destruction of entire planets, meticulously described, and ending with a transgalactic trip to a memorably unpleasant destination. If any book counts as overblown space opera, this one does.
So what did they use for the cover? A scowling cowled bloke, a weird plant, a badly-designed castle and a random number generator.

I’ve been on that Good Show Sir site and I know everything at the moment is about nipples! Here my friend we will defy convention. Cleavage but no nipples. Also she’ll be kinda silver, jumping out of awful looking flames towards a star. Oh yea, consider that convention defied!

HOLY father of APOLLO! I have it, again! Cat people! Oh alright, we won’t have it just as bad as last time but we should have at least three of them. And some guy with a beard, and an alien city, and purple fonts that burn into your mind.

I want a man charging into battle on his horse. But instead of a horse, lets just have some five legged reptilian esk horse creature and lets not actually have a battle, he can just be charging alone through a desert Mars landscape. Make sure the guy is only wearing a loincloth. Who cares about armour as long as your family jewels are comfortable.
