what is up with that helmet? I had seen your book for about 5 years or so in book stores at one time or another and I never bought it because I thought the helmet looked so (no offence) sorry but, stupid.

Just wondering why it looked like that.

Blame the Del Rey art department. I have provided them with both written descriptions and drawings, but they insist on helmets based on those things from that awful movie the Heinlein estate made the producers take his name off of.

Yes, cover art actually does influence people's book buying. It's happened to me as a reader. There are books I thought I wouldn't like, based on the cover illustrations, that I actually liked a great deal once I held my nose and gave them a try.
