I’m pretty sure most of them aren’t women, but I’m willing to be surprised.

This is a grand concept. I mean, I like women, and I like war. Why not combine the two, I say.
@THX: I think you’ll find that everyone on the cover is a potentially child-bearing member of her species. Yes, everyone. That ‘banner’ you see? Rhonda’s a loving mother to her three little pennants, and is only fighting for the money.

Why was it edited?
What could possibly have happened with the fish people and the bubble head and the frog people and the lizard people and the giant square monkey and ET and the flag waving dyke during wartime that was unfit for the general public?
Did they all walk into a bar?

First I had that Helen Reddy song running through my head, but then it switched to Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’. Now we just need RX’s species to be represented and this would be a great work.

The Cat People Army will kick their ass.

PETA’s tactics will get much more aggressive in the future.

The one time they could have legitimately said ‘we’re referencing a famous painting so the bare boobs are perfectly fine’ they didn’t. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People
Which is encouraging and all but leads to new member rev (hello) assuming she must be LBGT because she’s on a skiffy book cover fully clothed.
I suppose the Servalan haircut may have fooled some people, but… Servalan.

If she is being shot at it might be a good idea for her to put an ammo clip into her weapon.

More Baenists! But no Baen logo in sight?
Does anyone else think the symbol on the banner is a little OTT?

@ Bibliomancer: French revolutions will apparently appeal to a much wider audience in the future.

I cant believe i am saying this, but this cover could use alot more Baen.

Shouldn’t the title be A SINGLE WOMAN AT WAR? Why not show a whole phalanx of women?
The explanation is crass and simple.
Many male readers would feel intimidated by seeing a whole army of women. But a lone woman doesn’t scare them as much.

You’ve propped this up against a stack of Jack Womack books, cool and slightly ironic, but what is that to the right of the book? An aubergine/ cabbage hybrid?

I wish I could take credit for clever book placement, but this was at the used bookstore and I just prop books wherever there is a well-lit space. The thing on the right is a cover, but I haven’t the faintest what for.

Women at war? So does this mean that all the women of the world rebelled against each other, or does it mean that they rebelled against the men? I’m sure that most men would prefer them rebelling against each other…much more entertaining.

@Tat Wood/ Tom Noir:
One can make out a tiny digit just at the egde which leads me to the conclusion it is in fact a bat-like wing of some sorts. Possibly belonging to a chiroptera-cabbage hybrid.

Hang on…
Servalan…
Dr Moreau-style beasts…
Uh-oh http://swordznsorcery.livejournal.com/214515.html

@Jeff Vader: Perhaps it’s a vampire Tiffany Lamp

@ Anti-Sceptic – Going by the variety of life forms on the cover it’s not a war among women or against men…It’s women at war with all other sentient species besides humans. Which is atrocious! I’m a woman and I would not fight in this war.

WOMEN AT WAR… Promise!

Editor: “Everyone knows, women on covers don’t sell. Let’s throw some space monkeys on there!”

The cover was effortlessly recycled from a rock album cover — they only had to remove a “G” from the original title WOMEN AT GWAR.

@HappyBookwyrm but why women only? Were the men all at home? I can see it now…
woman: “Honey, I’m home. You won’t believe the battle we had today with the deadly Zarkons!”
man: “So when are you going to start the battle with dinner?”
