That’s a damn fine book cover. I actually checked this book out for my school library when I was a teenager.
Read it in a weekend. Then I wrote a book report on it. Great book!

Cover’s cool, but post the book report, dammit! 😁
I wish I still had it! I was in 7th grade and it was the first A- I ever got, and I was so stoked because I was a C student for most of my school career! lol
Yeah, that’d make quite the impression. Congrats to young you!
Thanks. I wish my younger self had kept that momentum and enthusiasm for education. Instead, I was more interested in banging cheerleaders and dreaming of a football scholarship. The scholarship never happened because I was just an average player, the cheerleaders brought drama, and by 19, I’d gotten my girlfriend pregnant and was working in a jacket-making factory to pay child support. So no college for me.
I don’t regret having my beautiful kids, but I do regret not making better choices so I could’ve provided them with a better life. It all worked out in the end, and everyone is healthy and happy. But man, I really should’ve nurtured that high I got from that book report grade!
Unfortunately, nature works against us in that regard. Our bodies get the drive to procreate much earlier than when our brains develop the ability to fully consider consequences for our actions - it’s unfortunately one of the very last bits to develop, usually around age 25.
Take pride in the fact you were mature enough to take your responsibilities head-on, tho! Well done.
Interesting digging stance
Definitely looks awkward. I’m not sure what he is doing.
If this cover were created today, everyone would be screaming, “AI slop! Look at the shovel and stance of the guy digging!” lololol
Kinda makes sense to me, shovel is angled down and away from the body, pulling the sand/dirt in a way so they don’t accidentally strike the suit if they were digging in and shoveling normally.
I see what you mean, also they are ankle deep but i like your interpretation
The space suits were obviously inspired by “2001: A Space Odyssey.” But I still love this cover.
MOVE OVER ARTHUR CLARK.
I remember this book only from the cover, thanks for reminding me of it’s name! it was a fun read, and was the first of a series of like five books. I’ll have to look them up again.
