Ships of Doom

There is nothing wrong with the rendering of this cover other than the grey brown tone of the clothing.  It just doesn't seem very Shadow-ish to me.  The cloak is too short and I'm not sure who or what our hero is shooting at.  If we are to believe that he is high enough to be in danger of falling to his death then he can't be firing at villains on the ground.  If they are aboard another aircraft then is should be indicated.  This cover just doesn't do it for me.  Well painted technically but just not well conceived, in my opinion.  I have yet to read this one so I'm hoping this review gives me hope for a great tale.
