Well I for one think a photo/cover with Valkyries (angels?) might work.
Is your book in favor of Atlas and Ayn? Or again? That would tell me how the Valkyries behave on the cover.
Neither, really. It's an attempt at a fair criticism and to suggest to the book's critics that its philosophical roots are a lot deeper and more legitimate than a lot of them think, and to its fans, that there are certain serious issues that Rand glosses over (hard to believe in 1100 pages, but there are). It's actually a chapter-by-chapter guide so that the intelligent reader can make up his or her own mind.
And absolutely no zombies. Publius made that very clear.
The book grew out of this effort from four years ago.
