hanna york and his shipmates find themselves crash landing on a seemingly pristine and primitive world where they encounter mystics, dolphins, romance, surfing and exciting fast paced action. but their arrival has upset a delicate balance and set into motion a series of events that will change the future of all mankind forever as they must now face the realities of… ‘the paradigm of time.’
Wouldn’t you just love 90,000 words of that?
“Dude! Paradigm of Time, woooooo, that totally rhymes… far out … but hey … gotta go! surfs up! and my dolphin board totally needs waxing !!!!!!!!”
If there was ever a situation when we needed a giant, ice cream cone shaped planet destroyer this would be it.
Heck of a solar flare. The earth looks really scared, too, judging from the puddle.
Plus: Call me Ishmael!

Whoa — talk about going from the ridiculous to the sublime!
(I WANT that edition of Moby-Dick, for those of you who were wondering what to get me for Christmas.)
The paperback is almost stocking-stuffer priced (you’d need a reinforced stocking, though).
I thought it was interesting how different the same sort of image can look when handled in different ways. That other one that impressively introduces an expensive book vs. this one where the Earth is about to barf Australia into the sun.
Wait. That’s the sun? I thought it was a fruit roll-up.
You’re right! Earth does totally have a mouth and eyes and it looks like it is going to vomit up the island continent!
So in THIS world, the sun DOES rotate around the planet! Bitchin’ solar flare.
The sample starts out with a character list. A CHARACTER LIST!
To be fair, Guy Gavriel Kay’a excellent Fiona Fionavar Tapestries also begin each book with a character list.
Ignore that extraneous Fiona. Stupid smart phone.
Is there such a thing as artistic hoarding? I think I see a few cat skeletons under the moon.
The Sun Rose is not a flower I think I want in my garden.
How many times do I have to tell you take the foil off before you put it in the microwave!?
This is why we can’t have nice things.
I’m really starting to think there should some sort of category for bad blurbs. They ARE part of the cover in an actual book, after all 😉
Totally Tubular Cover, Dude! Bitchin’
