I stumbled upon a fairly new novel,(2287 A.D.).

I have not yet read it but I am considering buying it.

From a marketing stance I find it intriguing.

I was drawn to the cover art, which in itself is pretty tame by modern standards. Nevertheless, it is a visual reflex for me to give a second look.

Had the cover art been more typical of SCI-FI, I might have glazed over it.

Also interesting to me is the description, which begins with a lengthy warning label. The warning itself seems to endeavor to become a hook.

I must admit I am sucked into this clever advertising.

Sex sells.

Has anyone read it?

Well, the cover and the description are the kind of things that turn me right off. Sex sells... to a certain audience. I would not read this book.
