Guys in skirts that travel through time? OK. Not my preferred genre, so I’ll pass. As for the cover, it is a wreck.
Oddly, my eye keeps going back to that gray thing on the beach. What is that supposed to be? A giant discarded cigarette?
And what is skirted dude holding in his claw-hand? Too skinny to be a wooden propeller, too twisted to be a spear. It has some kind of white tab at the center. If we pull that, does skirted dude inflate into a Macy’s balloon?
And then my eye wanders to where skirted dude’s head is supposed to be… Looks like a dragon flamed his head into a charcoal stump. Poor guy.
That quiver makes me . . . quiver. It just adds all kinds of hilarity.
I imagine it is a Magic Talking Quiver. It’s badly timed mouth movements reminiscent of the magic flute that helped Jack Wild out of many a tight spot.
Watch out for Witchiepoo!!
— and as for you – go ask your Grandparents. And Get Off My Lawn!

Wouldn’t a high masted sailing ship like that draw too much water to be so close to what appears to be s gently sloping beach? Just wondering. Captains who run their ships aground usually lost their commissions.
Why should garments matter in classifying your athletes? It would be like me creating a collection of stories about musicians who wore braces (as in dental appliances or suspenders). How could that matter?

I think the thing in his hand is supposed to be a bow.
“that gray thing on the beach. What is that supposed to be? ”
I’ll go with a light saber from long, long ago.
That quiver makes me . . . quiver. It just adds all kinds of hilarity.

I thought it was mandatory that every kilt on a cover had to have a claymore.
Rookie mistake.
“Kilted athletes through time” is the best subtitle ever. That is all.
I concur. It’s bizarre, wonderfully specific, and yet somehow heartfelt.
But wtf is up with that quiver? It looks like a festive willy warmer ™ that’s been possessed by an ent and defaced in photoshop.
Totally missed the subtitle.
WTF?
