Pat's Tor editor, Chris Morgan, is a retard

[TorquieTwoBeers]

Prior to the release of Gate Crashers, Tor sent out advance copies to reviewers to get some nice pull quotes for the cover of the final product. Here's Pat asking if any reviewers wanted a copy.

GATE CRASHERS Advanced Reader Copies! -

Hey friends, fans, and followers. Are you a book reviewer? Want an ARC of my first book from Tor? It’s got competent women doing cool things, a gay black space marine kicking ass, a silverback gorilla press liaison, sentient nuclear missiles, and a drug-dependent alien going cold turkey, all...

Well, they got one, from author Max Gladstone, Author of the Craft Sequence:

"Taut, funny, and human, Gate Crashers takes us from zero to FTL in seconds flat."

Seems like a good one to put on the cover of the book!

Whoops! Looks like Chris Morgan dropped the ball and forgot to include it:

No worries, it's probably just on the back:

Oh, dear. Looks like he completely forgot to put it on there. But they run a tight ship over there at Tor, and Chris Morgan was not about to forget to put a good pull quote on the front of Pat's next book, Starship Repo:

Oh, shit! He put the Gate Crashers pull quote on the cover of Starship Repo! That is deeply embarrassing and confusing to casual readers. I bet Chris Morgan had a soul-searching conversation with himself and vowed to never make that mistake again. I mean, it already makes this look like a rinky-dink operation with no oversight or thought or care put into it, so it's time to buckle down and make sure this never happens again. On to In The Black!!!

Oh, Chris, honey. Baby child infant. What are you doing? Do you want to get fired? This is NOT how you executive produce!

Would you expect anyone in Rick's universe to not be retarded, though?

Hey, the nigga is dyslexic. Cut him some slack!

Not only that, they couldn't afford to have an artist create original cover art for them so they used shutterstock images. LOL.

Haha that's so embarrassing.

Also if you look closely on the spaceship on the In The Black cover, you can see the numbers are just '123456789' lmao

Everything in pig's world is so lazily done. Then again, he is an unemployed alcoholic so what can we expect.

Oh god. Someone once argued with him about that, saying the missile bay doors weren't supposed to be numbered like that and he, of course, argued that he wanted them that way. Baby boy didn't care if the rest of the world sees it as a fuckup.

 

[NoBacon]

What a disgusting man. I can’t believe they let him write this on his book.

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

Spare no expense.

 

[HotDogJoe]

What a disgusting man. I can’t believe they let him write this on his book.

Can somebody forward this evidence to the police already? This is NOT ok!

 

[Dummy Gaynuts]

Spare no expense.

some expense might have been spared

I asked him about this exact fuckup and he said he instructed the graphic artist to make it that way. I said to him that doesnt explain the numbers and he replies "do you not know how pulse moderators work child". It's fucking sci Fi dude have some imagination

Nice dedications, stupid.

(Yes, the dyslexic editor left that period in before "The" on the second line.)

he’s basically saying he wants annabelle to find him and through genetic sexual attraction have sex with him. Disgusting. Even for the pig.

He didn't actually dedicate something to the daughter he abandoned, did he?

Yes and she will find her way home by herself. He isn’t going to lift a finger to help make that happen, even though he probably could.

[Cuphead]

Mother fucking professional authors can't even spellcheck they have the right name of the book in the quotes. HAHA HOL-E SHIT

 

[Mike Glyer]

I see they incorporated a lot of that into the design.

Yep, he dedicated The Ark to her.
