Imagine this, you are a female knight… awww come on, I said imagine… and you have come into the future only to find… wait for it.. space ships! And a futuristic station! This cover will be one of the greatest comparisons of public transport ever! Oh, don’t forget the transparent eyes in the sky too.

that spaceship isn’t even the size of the horses head… how is anyone meant to fit in it… I think its about to bump into her face too.
the author didnt think that one through, or is it a planet of tiny tiny people?
God i’d hate to live a world where theres a huge set of eyes always looking down from the sky like that, hows anyone meant to work with that going on?

I had to look up what was a Kliatt. Foolish me, I thought Kliatt was the stage name of one of these girl group singers who doesn’t have a successful solo career and disappears for a few years, reappears on Celebrity Big Brother, and…
…ah, shutting up.
Erm.
Horsey has a smooshed face, like part was painted in profile and part was painted while looking to the illustrator.

What happened here? Did no-one notice that the addition of the fancy border clearly puts the ship in the foreground? Or is it meant to be a mini-ship crewed by ants? And is the horse a Mutant Space Horse of the Future?
Google holds no answers to these questions. However, for what it’s worth, the first chapter, “The Birth of Mary Goddess-Sueâ€, is available here: http://www.sff.net/people/jglass/gongi.html
(Well, all right, that’s not what it’s called, but trust me…)

You know what this cover reminds me of most of all?
An old Nazi poster of Adolf Hitler in knight’s armor.
And I’m not kidding.

Doh! I realize that I just activated Godwin’s Law there… (Eventually, someone will mention “Hitler” in an Internet discussion.)
Sorry!

Oooh.Flip the picture and yipes! All she needs is the little mustache.
Spooky.

@Rachel J– Wow, you weren’t kidding. Reminded me of a bad Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. Usually authors post the first chapter to get readers to want to read more. This just made me think I dodged a bullet.

I think title fonts should more often be shaped like eyebrows. Or that we should all wear book titles on our faces like old faint-eyes.

@AR #4–well, that would explain the ‘SS’ pattern on the border now, wouldn’t it?

That’s one dubious review quote:
“Thrilling!” -Kliatt
The review quotes they didn’t use:
1. “Enthralling!” -Clott
2. “Marvellous!” -Snott
