Personally, I think you should leave off the "?". Punctuation in book titles can be confusing when doing searches and so on, so if it's not important to the title then leave it off.
The balance is a little better with the "One nuclear..." text down a bit lower ... it's still not exactly right, though; not to my eye.

Thanks gmw. There are books with question marks of course. I put it in there because I thought "Navy Seal Rescue" sounded too much like a non-fiction book. I don't know. The balance is better without the ? . (But maybe the ? could be a branding thing--every title has "Navy Seal" in it and ends with a question mark.)
Anyway, ha ha, yeah, the new background (on the missile cover) is a little dull. Maybe I went too far trying to get rid of that bright blue.
I did another one with the tag line in the old cover. I don't know, I think this one's a lot more stylish than the missile one. Although the missile one is funnier. But since this is a series and if I want some branding, it's kind of important which I decide on now. (And most books like mine really use icons more than cartoonish stuff.) Yeah, I'm leaning toward using something like this.)
