Ryan Comments All I know is that this cover does not just draw the Eyes of Heisenberg, but every young red-blooded American boy’s eyes.
You might remember this from here.

The eyes of Heisenberg. The chair of Trump.

They’re sort of like beer goggles, but much more powerful.

“Yesss… the perspective in the Throne Room has always been… how you Earthmen say… wonky.”

Looks more like a ‘Box of Schrodinger’ cover to me.

Check out the ankle monitor. She’s under house arrest.

So the most terrifying mutation ever is… the inability to sit up properly in a chair? She’ll be putting her elbows on the table and talking with her mouth full next. The horror, the horror!

Artist Paul Alexander was last seen here on the cover of “The Winds of Gath.” Apparently he specializes in women with crowns bigger than the rest of their clothing sitting on fantastical thrones. And just like with “Gath,” it’s remarkable how something can be so kitschy and yet so bland at the same time.

Even in the future, the highways are under perpetual construction.

The chair is to help her stick to the Uncertainty Principle: we can know her mass, her velocity but not her precise position.

Herbert also wrote a novel about a stoner named Eisenburg, so until you actually read the title, it is both “The Eyes of Heisenburg” and “The Highs of Eisenburg” at the same time!

That hat, though. The hat prefigures the time to come when we get our first pope from Thailand.

‘The most terrifying mutation ever’: cover depicts eleven year old boy.

@BC – Are you absolutely certain about that?

It’s better than the previous cover, at least it will get favorable attention from some buyers instead of scaring them all away. Not that it’s good, mind you, or it wouldn’t be here.
There appears to be another throne to the right. Is this a ride like the Haunted Mansion, with the swiveling chairs on a fixed track?
@Dr. Bob: She can’t sit upright with her Thai Pope hat on. It’s too heavy. That’s why she has to slouch and lean her head back against that giant headrest. The combo of that and the ankle monitor keep her from escaping custody.
@Tor: I was thinking this looked like something we’d seen recently. I guess Paul was the go-to guy when you wanted… that sort of thing.
@Lillie, @Tat: the chair highway being under perpetual construction, nobody knows her exact position.
(Joke contemporary with cover: is that Carson’s fabled Slauson cutoff?)
@B’man: Dr. Pauli says nobody can possibly see both those books on the same shelf at the same time.

@GSSxn—That’s right. Either the bookshelf, or the reader, must collapse
June 25th, 2020 at 11:33 pm
@BC: Collapse of reader probably dependent on the cover art.

Can we get a “Man Hands” tag?
June 27th, 2020 at 1:13 am
Anti-Sceptic(@prev.):
“Man hands”? Get a load of that jawline!
June 27th, 2020 at 2:29 am
@prev. and @prev.: Let’s just put on the “dude looks like a lady” tag and call it a week.

“The Eves of Heisenberg’ would make a good series cover wise.
