On the docket of Pre-Order Land. Delicious.
Blurbs can be powerful, along with covers:
The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire.
A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.
A hostile force ambushes Victory Company during a reconnaissance-in-force deep inside enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, a sergeant must lead a band of survivors against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world somewhere along the galaxy’s edge. With no room for error, the Republic’s elite fighting force must struggle to survive under siege while waiting on a rescue that might never come.
Join Victory Company as they fight for their lives. When you think you’ve surrounded the Legion... you’ve just made your last mistake.

They are coming. Find the Goliath or be destroyed.
The chilling words are the first thing Mitchell hears after an assassin's bullet nearly ends his life. He tries to ignore them, convinced the voice in his head is a side-effect of his injuries

Like, dont plop down exposition about what your book entails. That really doesn't get me to notice. Maybe "IN media Res" part of it. Who should I care about? What are the goals or whats on the line? What does the hero or protags have to strive for.....or even what kind of genre buzzwords will reel us fishes in. Kinda how Babylon 5 lays out its opening scroll stuff. You know the generalities without getting bogged down with exposition.
The first line should feed me somehow. Get my brain hooked from the get go.
