A Temp Cover

This is the cover I've been playing with for my fourth novel. What do you guys think?

Traveling Heartbreak will follow Josh, an ambitious self-proclaimed scientist who started studying time travel as a way to save his dad from a long, drawn-out death. Until one day, his fiance is killed while they are our on a date for their two year anniversary, and now Josh's focus shifts to saving his fiance. However, saving her isn't as easy as he hoped. The continued jumps lead to exhaustion and mistakes, and the next jump he finds himself not in the past, but thousands of years in the future, and the world is completely destroyed. He loses part of his time machine and must venture into this post-apocalyptic waste land, full of deformed monsters, crazy nuclear weather, and humans that want to kill him and take all he has. What happened to Earth to cause this, and could Josh help prevent it. All he has now is a clan of Christian survivors who want to help him get home and tell him the good news of Jesus. Can he make it home and save his fiance and prevent this chaos from happening, or is there something you can change?
