I thought it was time you got some fan art, too.

Chaos:
Dan, I think you just found a new desktop background.

Meh, it's in the cover copy, isn't it?

Peter Ahlstrom:
That's the problem with cover copy sometimes. You want to sell the book by letting people know how cool it is, but sometimes a book works better narratively if something isn't known. But if you don't put it in the cover copy, what reason will they have to pick up the book?

It's like in the Stargate episode 200, where O'Neal walks in toward the end and says, "Come on, don't tell me the viewers wouldn't see this coming," and someone else says, "They'd put it in the preview the week before."

Anyway, if I know I want to read a book because I've read something else by the author or someone else has given it a good recommendation, I do not read the cover copy before I start reading the book. That always makes the journey of discovery more interesting.
