The Webscriptions page (Baen's eBook sales site) for this book has a somewhat 
better quality version of the Art Work, and it has an easier URL.

That url works for any recent Baen title, just put in the ISBN. e.g.
http://www.webscription.net/images/PRODUCT/large/067187845X.jpg
which is from the ebook of Memory which is included in the same monthly bundle

As an eBook from Webscriptions _Memory_ is US$6,
while the Omnibus _Miles Mutants and Microbes_ (Falling Free, Labyrinth, 
Diplomatic Immunity) is only US$5.
(I suppose Arnold priced it that way because he has previously included _DI_ 
twice in monthly eBook bundles as the single book - Adding it up that also 
means that I have now bought the ebook of _DI_ five times from Webscriptions!).

Anyone buying both may prefer the Monthly bundle (US$15) which also includes 
five other books for only an extra $4.

Actually, Simon and Schuster (Baen's Distributors) often have better quality 
images than Baen, and this is again the case for _Miles Mutants and Microbes_,
