I hope there’s a vaccine for whatever is wrong with that planet.

I thought it was an egg that was shot… Or maybe wearing a corsage.

Could there ever be a tag for bad blurbs? Or even another page for that? Because jeez.

That book blurb needs to be taken to the airlock and released into the cold vacuum of space, towards a sun for it to burn up in. Destroying it forever.

Not our sun though, the sun of some planet filled with evil slaughtering rat people or something, because that book blurb will surely make the sun implode upon impact due to how bad it is.

So thank you Kirby Vickery, savior of humanity from the eventual clutches of the evil slaughtering rat people.

What has an ash-throated flycatcher’s egg afflicted with sea anemone fungus got to do with illegal artificial intelligences and space ships?

Word art tag!

Am I the only one who thinks that the reddish thing looks like a certain lady part?

An ash-throated flycatcher’s egg with a lady part? If that’s the case, alternate erotic romance has gone too far for my delicate sensibilities.

You’re right, it looks like vocal cords. But I think men have those too.

So, the planet is screaming? Yeah, I feel its pain.

Honestly, it looks like half a strawberry splashing into a pool of melted crayons.

To play devil’s advocate, the writing inside is thankfully more coherent than the blurb. However, it’s a low bar, and it still manages to just barely lazily roll over the top of said bar.

Too bad, because it sounds like an interesting premise, if I am deciphering the blurb correctly…
