Art direction: The question is, what shouldn’t we have on the cover? Have a purple prince stabbing at a furry green wolfman with a couple of guys watching in the background.. one of them has to have four arms.

nice, there’s just so much going on in this picture my eyes can’t seem to focus on any one particular aspect of its terribleness (awesomeness)… i would NOT read that beast on a train

That looks like a heck of a rave party.

Amusingly, this is the least representative scene in the novel. It is a novel about covert infiltration, leading to a ground, air and space battle with futuristic technology (since it happens in the future).
The cover should obviously have what looks like a medieval fight between a werewolf and a prince.

By Baen standards, this *is* covert.

It’s a brilliant cover. Unfortunately not the best picture of it. I love the Pink Princes expression on his face, almost like he isn’t quite sure what the heck he is trying to kill. But might as well give it a go anyway.

Cover later recycled for John McCain’s pamphlet “This Is What Our Military Will Look Like If We Allow Gays To Serve Openly.”

I just noticed that the title of this book is a palindrome.
MIND.

Must agree with Nix: no explosions, no outer space, no ridiculous guns. So it is covert for BAEN.
Thought at first the fellow in the background without supernumerary arms was playing the fiddle, supplying background music for the fight/rave.
