This sure looks like a no-nonsense barred thrill ride of excitement from whence you cannot escape until the last page hits the floor at 4am.
Good thing “novel” was put on the cover, because I would’ve thought it was some sort of guide for transit systems.
I agree, Bruce.
Metro North train… and that looks like the Stamford train station. Wow, if I timed it better, I could’ve been on this cover! Dang!
Maybe there’s a bomb in the guy’s backpack, and we just can’t see it. Think about that one, huh. Is the cover building suspense now? How about now?
So, if you timed it better and got into the shot, would you be a photo-bomber? HA! I kill myself.
Anyway, it would’ve made a far more interesting cover.
Photo bomber!!! HILARIOUS!!! *Still giggling*
Do you think that the photog and cover designer have a release signed by that guy’s ass, as well as his argyle-wearing backpack with the Zip-Tie tie?
I don’t think they need it since it was shot in a public space, but I honestly can’t figure out how those laws work.
At least there is someone that looks like a commuter on the cover. Small favors.
Tune in next week for our best-selling follow-up, The Carpool.
Would be much better with a clip-art line drawing of a sniper pasted on top of one of the sky-bridge windows.
Oh – with a terrible amount of Aspect-Ratio squeezing to fit the sniper in the frame of said window.
Sounded too good not to do.
The result was less than underwhelming:
The Commuter
A review of the book. I found it illuminating. As much as we disparage the cover, the reviewer didn’t have a problem with it. However, he took exception with the editing.
