It could start with a capital letter and I am sure some commas would be handy even if I am not sure it is strictly speaking grammatically wrong not to have any
The image on the Amazon page it links to is much better. But this sentence still stinks ‘the maddening of the world chronicled for the aliens on their way by a broken man losing his mind’
You’re such a party pooper, Axolotl. It was written for A-LI-ENS. We’re just humans here and we really don’t need to understand all this stuff, you know? 😉
(Subject thingy) A broken man losing his mind
(Verb part) chronicles for the aliens on their way
(Object thingy) the maddening of the world.
So when the aliens finally arrive at the mad, mad, mad, mad world, they will find a chronicle written by a broken man who lost his mind.

I’ve… seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched glittering stars vomit from the Pac-Man-Gigantess in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to die…

That ridiculous subtitle is so badly written, I shudder to think what lies behind this incomprehensible cover. Hard pass.
I agree. If the subtitle, which appears on the freaking COVER, is so badly written, imagine what’s inside…

I wonder why Pac-man is vomiting stars.
Go home Pac Man, you’re drunk.
Big Vomit Theory?

What does that EVEN MEAN?

My interpretation:
(Subject thingy) A broken man losing his mind
(Verb part) chronicles for the aliens on their way
(Object thingy) the maddening of the world.
So when the aliens finally arrive at the mad, mad, mad, mad world, they will find a chronicle written by a broken man who lost his mind.

With apologies:
