Covers are, in theory, a way for the publisher to save atleast a 1000 =
words of copy.

& yes, the particular sub-genra that Baen is so assidously mining, =

As for the endorphin level, though I have yet to go "Aieeeeeee" and drop a =
book like a hot piece of camel dung, there are many a time I go . . =
."sigh".

Anyway, the great thing of the SF field is that it is a Very Big Tent, =
