not only is this cover terrible, but Amazon (and/or the author) has filed this under science fiction which it is not. Only people who know nothing of sci-fi think “oh it’s set in space/the future” means it’s science fiction.
I think if STAR WARS is filed under science fiction, with its space wizards and space princess and space religion and space ghosts, that pretty much anything set in space or in the future *can* be filed under science fiction.
Prob another of my weird tics, but I hold books to different standards than movies/tv. Like on a show or movie, I’ll buy someone crawling through a vent even though IF a vent was big enough for a whole ass person to crawl through, it almost certainly wouldn’t be strong enough to support their weight, but get irritated to DNF when I see it in a book.
So I’ll buy Star Wars as a sci-fi movie franchise, but in my sci-fi books, I do expect some sci however irrational that might seem these days

Who is TJE and what did he do that was so bad?

Would you put C.S. Lewis’ Space trilogy under SF?
dunno, haven’t read it, haven’t even heard of it before now. Scandalous, I’m sure!
GASP.
