I love the cover :( I commissioned it through 99designs, went to many iterations with many artists, and even if I didn't make it myself, I'm basically responsible for it. I feel like it's the kind of cover this kind of book should have. I guess I'm wrong :(

It’s a good cover because it tells me in an honest way that I will not be interested in it.

I wouldn't assume it's actually a bad cover based on HN commenters' tastes. Look at what's successful in your niche and copy that (to my eye, looks like you've done that, but idk the niche well)

I like the cover, it makes me think of an Andy McNab novel, and based on the blurb looks like you're in a pretty close genre.

I mean, I think the cover is cool. It makes me think of a Jason Bourne novel involving Nazis. Which is also a type of book I’d never read, sorry.
