And this little ditty from his author bio doesn’t clear up this lousy cover at all:
“As a visual artist, Taylor’s work has sold worldwide. He painted the front and back cover art for two of singer/songwriter Elyse Bruce’s albums: “Midnight in Chicago,” and “Countdown to Midnight.” He has also done the artwork and photography for all of his publications.”
I wouldn’t pay him to paint my living room. (Or pick out the art for the walls…)
If it was about the NRA and its place in US politics, and if the picture is of a gold twenty-shooter then it would be thought provoking.
The point of the cover is to get you curious enough to read the description, but it really is about Autism, not Minutemen, and so I would put it down again.

The gun itself looks like a work of art that Nathan could probably appreciate, considering the kind of art he makes. Of course, its relevance to the subject is another matter, although I’m wondering if it’s a metaphor for something that’s actually explained in the book.
Yes. Apparently there’s a whole autism cultural underground with motivations and agendas and what-not. Although having read the book’s description I was left wondering if it was a real big deal or the author’s imagination that these things exist.

Buy this book or I’ll blow your head off.
Twenty times over.
That is a gun built by a gunsmith that has never seen a gun before.
Instead of the standard “Roulette” model, this one is apparently the “One-Armed Bandit” model.

I do, I do.
Okay. “Autism” isn’t a being which can HAVE politics or factions. Is the rest of the writing that bad?
Yes. Apparently there’s a whole autism cultural underground with motivations and agendas and what-not. Although having read the book’s description I was left wondering if it was a real big deal or the author’s imagination that these things exist.
