I don’t know. As blah as this cover is I must admit I am intrieged. Imagine living your life out of sequence. I believe I’ve only seen it done once before in “Slaughterhouse-Five”. This is a novel I’d like to read, in spite of, or maybe, because of a rather blah cover.
It creeps me out–and not in an intrigued way. It feels like that cover that had the body-swapping adults and kids, with the strong sexual overtones. Ixnay. The look between the woman and the kid…just creepy.

I am reminded of fugitive River Tam’s comment about captain Malcolm Reynolds in “Firefly”:
“Mal.
“Bad.
“In Latin.”
Or…hmmmm…speaking of the kid, maybe that expression is, rather, that he’s contemplating lunch? Shades of (Mikey?) in “Guess Who’s Talking,” or something like that? Travolta, a kid and a voiceover?
I guess that would be, the lunch he used to have. Otherwise…yup, right back to downright creepifying.
I find myself biased against anything that describes itself as an odyssey or an epic, even when it has a decent cover.

I meant to add, just for you, Naaman, one Browncoat to another…”downright creepifying.”

Poor kid’s just a head and a pair of arms.
It would be awesome in the movie version if the kid floated around in the air sorta like Zardoz. just a disembodied head with two arms.
I think that’s actually a transvestite on the left; the only thing keeping the dress from sagging around the, um, chest area is the dude’s pectorals.
Is this a sequel to the classic “My First Boner”?
