    Cover art doesn't fit the music. I know that artists don't get to read the book, but couldn't someone at least tell them what genre of music it was?

    The Eubonian Concord? {snicker}


    The band sounds like old-school emo (ie, Sensefield, Texas Is the Reason, etc). Blatant overuse of the chorus effect though.

    I'm going to guess that Asaro has less input into the cover art than she does into her musical collaborators. Yeah, it's Baen, but still...


    BTW, did io9 do anything about The Church soundtracking Jeff VanderMeer's Shriek: An Afterword?

    @Lieutenant 030: Authors almost never get any say on the cover art & design.

    Not that I'm judging the book by it, but that cover...

    @Grey_Area: It's a cover that makes you hope lots of her readers have Kindles.


    Is that a Hypercolor shirt? And does his mic have FINS?

    @limber: Baen Books is going in a new direction with their cover art. Sadly, it ends up in the same destination -- Suckville.

    Charlie, I might suggest you check out the Giorgio Moroder Battlestar Galactica record. SUPER SWEET!!!

    I only have one question. After watching the first clip, I'm not really sure if they loved to rock. Did they?

    @KingBananaHammock_GitEmSteveDa...: Also, was anyone expecting "Thor" to go all Ozzy on the things Satan threw at him? As for Thors power, the only two I can see from the video is he has the ability to find the weak point of a top heavy fallen archangel, and he saw "Scent of a Woman", so he learned the "Ranger Choke Hold" from Al Pacino. Who-AH!

    Dave Foley sure has resigned himself to being in awful shit, hasn't he? This is a stunning way to follow up Postal.
