So 25% of the title on the cover is WRONG. Yeah, that’s not good.

My lord, the description! It disses H. G. Wells, George Orwell, and Ray Bradbury and then manages to misspell Jules Verne.

Let’s be frair. He mentions Jules Verne twice and Jules Vern only once.
“…the greatest crisis to mankind in the last 250,000 years…”
Self-published books with computer-generated pseudohumans on the covers? (That’s what literary agents, traditional publishers and human models say.)

The pseudohuman thing might sort of work on this cover with a Terminator-like font and the correct title, especially with that “Rise of the Homo Ursus” line (“Homo Ursus” sound like something that is half man and half bear, unlike the cover picture, which appears to be a fully bare pseudo-woman).
At any rate, Jokerman would be good for the author’s anonynym, “I. B. Baak.”

I’m guessing this is about some kind of sentient bears attacking humans. So it should be “the rise of Ursus sapiens”. With Ursus sapiens in italics, of course, but I can’t do that here.
Oh shoot, the editor recognizes the tag delimeters (less-than and greater-than keys) even with spaces before and after. The comment editor needs a preview mode for testing (hint, hint) and/or a list of common tags.

To me, nothing says end of the world war quite like the font: Jokerman.
I was just going to say that was a happy, perky font to be denoting the end of the world.
Did I. M. mean the war ON mankind?
From the description: “A few great authors have correctly predicted the future of science… By comparison, this book…”
Clearly I.M. meant “contrast”.
Grasp of language any better than that of bookcovers? Doubtful.
Kris says: “Did I. M. mean the war ON mankind?”
The Amazon listing on the kindle versions lists it as “The War On Mankind”

Just do this: <i> to start the italics and </i> to end them.

Your suggestion has merit. I just installed a new plugin.
