Nothing says modern and edgy like Old English Font and lilac.

Bonus Joke: Apparently our greatest mistake was recycling because that is a well sorted aluminium pile. Recycling will end the world!

WTF am I looking at? Talk about a cover with no purpose. I mean, WTF is this thing?

With apologies to Waffles I still don’t know what that crap is? No – the crap in the lower-right corner. Yes – below the spilled water.

Also, with an endorsement like “fun to read,” I feel certain that this book is not as horrible as having my eyes plucked out with a dull spoon dipped in jalapeño juice. Other than that, though . . .

I think that some of the square hollow things are aluminium posts that they use in patio cover construction, and the flat things beside them are panels.

At least I am pretty sure. I have outsider information on that kind of thing though. That is why I think that these are aluminium scraps.

Covers however, should not be a guessing game. Like what in the chunk is that yellow thing beside the aluminium pile? Oh, I know, we should make it a guessing game!

Spilled water? I thought it was a fried egg that, for some reason, had been given a blue white and a white yolk.

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT!

None of this makes any sense…

I thought that was an image from an endoscope of the inside of a healthy colon, turned blue and with a light added at the ‘end of the tunnel’. And I can’t work out what that ochre dollop on the pile of scrap metal is meant to be either.

Top to bottom:
1. Uptight receptionist about to be seduced by boss in office porno: He Did Them Fax
2. Giant snowball alien miscalculated and landed in Mojave in July
3. What was left of said alien’s spaceship after the government was done with it
4. The great mystery element, placed here just because, because, because…the author’s name is Goldhaber? Yes, I’m going with that. It’s one of those newfangled goldhaber tools for…ummmm…well, anyway, they look better when the aspect ratio isn’t f*ed up!

Jay Lake, author of Mainspring, passed away on June 1 after a very long battle with cancer. I wonder if he knew he was going to be quoted on the cover of this book?

Ah. So there is no point to any of it. Good to know.
