You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover… but it doesn’t hurt to have a heavily armed woman from the future in a body suit to make you read the back cover. Nice. The PKD doesn’t hurt too.
Sex sells even/especially with SF/F books. Just look around at the bookstore and you’ll find a dozen books with the classic/cliche hot chick looking back over her shoulder cover art. It seems you can’t be a heroine without tight leather pants and a lower back tat. Not that I’m complaining mind you.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
