dude making Planet Killers was like, “hmm how can I make this worse…?”
Unto Us—well, one way to improve a cover, I guess, is to make it a non-cover.
Alien Abduction—speaking of mislabeling…apparently this book’s main character is a woman. But no matter…the cover already rates a thumbs down for unreadability
Straw Girl—the cover image just might, maybe, possibly have been made to work…but was shot down by the layout and type.
Man in the Tree—oh, this comes so very close! A nice painting, if perhaps rendered a little murky, but like another book in this series, the title is much too difficult to read. And I wish that Miss Hewitt was casting a shadow.
Admiral’s Daughter—nope
Talon’s Heart—nope
Golden Healer—another disembodied head cover.
Crashing Life—yet another misfire that might have had some possibilities
Planet Killers—nope
Four Children—nope
