@Tom Noir: I’d even question one line of that. The name ‘David Garnett’ in a fantasy context suggests the Bloomsbury chap with the appropriately complicated love life whose novel ‘Lady into Fox’ (about a debutante who transforms into a vixen) was turned into a ballet and ‘Aspects of Love’ was made over by Andrew Lloyd Webber and gave the world Michael Ball. Neither of these is suggested by the words ‘Bikini Planet’, although if Ballet Rambert and Cameron Mackintosh combine their forces they could have a hit.
@Anne T: You know, the planet is BIKINI Planet, not FEMALE Bikini Planet. Presumably the males of this world must also be donning the proverbial banana hammock. Why couldn’t this cover feature some equal representation?!?
@Anna T: Speaking of the Jedi, I’d like to think that after receiving formal Jedi training, Rey would be smart enough NOT to don the sort of Rob Liefeld-inspired combat gear favoured by Aayla Secura & Ashoka Tano!

Just those two words make me feel very tired.

For once, the pull quote is on point.

Hey! Look over here! I’m pointing at the Roc logo with my robotic index finger!

Maybe.

This is obviously a photo shoot for men who fantasize about women going into battle in combat-inappropriate attire. I’m sick and tired of that crap.

The selective reflectivity of the flooring is very disconcerting. It draws the eye from the important parts of the cover.

Starring a Las Vegas cop named Wayne Norton. Kill me, please, as a preemptive measure.
If her gun loses its wire, then is it useless? I’m not even sure how you could pistol-whip with such a rifle.

@DSWBT: That’s not the only thing here supported by a wire.

@Tat, Tom: Well, there’s this David Garnett, and then there’s David Garnett….

Crap concept. Just those two words make me think of crapping. And concepts. Er, and David Garnett. Mostly David Garnett.

I didn’t bring up Jedi. And, speaking of mankinis, by all rights this planet should be equal-opportunity, but going by this cover . . .

Perhaps they mean ‘Bikini’ in its original sense, a place far enough away from America to be blown up without putting the yanks off their TV dinners.

From the synopsis on wikipedia, it seems this a rare case of the crappy cover being BETTER than this book deserves.

There may be one or more hermaphrodites on this cover.
There, I said it and I don’t regret it at all. 😛
