With books today, you know what people are too obsessed with? That’s right, art! Why not (and you are going to love this) just have a female model dressed up as a pirate, teasing a little as she holds her swords to her lofty chest. With the addition of a terrible font we’ll draw a completely accurate picture of how things were like in ‘ye olden days.’

Premise : What if pirates had lightsabers? (and a huge rack)

Lets not bring up laser swords here 😛

I think she should watch the way she wields those swords, she managed to slice off the sleeves of her shirt, if she keeps it up she’ll end up with no clothes left on at all.

Thats the only reason anyone would read it surely?
I bet everything i have that she gets naked atleast 3 times in that book (in graphic detail)
It’s pretty disapointing when the best review they have for the cover is “An author to watch”, attributed to someone who brought us this:

I cant imagine too many dudes reading that, and are busty women really what other women want to read about?

Well CSA, I think that would depend on the women involved really…
Anyway, I do think she might want to do up that bodice a bit better, having worn a few in my time and can assure her she’ll be having some unfortunate fall out if she goes around jumping out of ships in that shoddy state of undress. Really…the youth of today, can’t even lace a bodice properly!

I followed the link.
Surely that cover will soon be appearing on here soon.
“The stirring conclusion to the Unicorn Trilogy”
Given the two on the cover of said book, I’m surprised unicorns were anywhere to be seen – they have a thing for virgins.

“Officer, make sure you keep a firm eye on what foul stuff Charles Manson is writing in his cell, and that it doesn’t get out. He’s an author to watch.”

Photographed on the surface of a Y-class Brown Dwarf.

Surely it’s no coincidence that a cover with a pretty lady was followed the next day by ‘Servants of the Wank’?

I don’t think they’re light sabers. They are steel swords with thousands of tiny “ting” all over them.

If the worst Star Wars episode and the worst Pirates of the Caribbean episode had a baby in 2008, this would be the cover.
Also, nowhere on the cover does it mention that this is Epic of the Palins #1 in a trilogy. I’m sure those of us who are entertained by a certain election process could have really had some fun with that a decade ago…

She’s the queen of stabby stabby.
March 25th, 2023 at 5:27 am
Her fashion style is Stabby Chic.

Doesn’t *quite* earn the “Ting!” tag.

@B. Chiclitz
Stabby cheek?

If she is a Dagger-Star why does she have a mace boob tattoo.
March 25th, 2023 at 11:57 pm
@fred – okay good, I couldn’t figure if that was a tat, weird shadowing, or if someone had spilled their lunch on the book…

@fred: Maybe her last name’s Mace?
@Emster: I think you mean the worst porn versions of those movies, crossed. Because as @little mi pointed out years ago, her devil’s dumplings are going to fall out the second she does anything other than stand still.
My thought was “Sarah or Michael”? The former is much more likely to dress like that; Pepperpots had more modest necklines. And didn’t she rum in 2008? Not a good idea for a series title even then.
