> Here's a little game. Below is a list of the books in the last BAM election, but this time I have included the little blurb under the title on the cover. After having read the "hook", NOW which book would you have voted for?

> _The Bane of Kanthos_ "Was he Lansing of the Amazon--or Rocar, master of sword-and-sorcery?"
>
> _Kalin_ "Finding needles in haystacks hardly compares with hunting diamonds in dinosaurs!"
>
> _Cradle of the Sun_ "Was the world's last coward mankind's final champion?"
>
> _The Wizards of Senchuria_ "Hide-and-seek on an infinite gameboard."
>
> _Dark Planet_ "Step Two was the Space Navy's Siberia--until one man learned of a third step."
>
> _The Herod Men_ "Planned death vs. unwanted birth in the Overpop Era."

I didn't vote in the election, but if I had voted based on the blurbs I would have picked Cradle of the Sun. All the others are really bizarre or boring to me.
