Sexist bastards. They missed out a busty sword-weilding Amazon.
There’s room. Right above the robot, underneath the winged bloke.
Is that a disco ball?
I see…Gay Night. It all becomes clear.
I’ll be quiet now.

I might be imagining this but is the golden robot like thing on the left a lady?

Cyberdamsel, perhaps. You’d have to read the book to find out!

Is this legitimate genre fiction or the cover for a Conan O’Brien sketch? Where’s PimpBot 3000 and the Masturbating Bear?

Re: Karl’s comment
It is legitimate genre fiction, as Mr Saberhagen has written stories where Sherlock Holmes fought Count Dracula in Victorian London, which was approved by the Conan Doyle Estate, & published as a full length novel in the U.S (although serious Holmes fans regard this story, & indeed Saberhagen’s “origin story” for Sherlock Holmes, published in Omni Magazine inthe late 1980′s as “Non-canonical” in the extreme).
The Robot & the “Death Star” are in fact Berserker constructs, examples of a species of self replicating robots, originally believed to be a “doomsday weapon” that turned on it’s creators, & in the “Berserker Universe” are rabidly trying to destroy all biological lifeforms in the universe, as to the Berserker’s, they represent Chaos…
(Personally, I wonder why said berserker’s in the cover, were not trying to destroy Dracula, as to them, he counts as a annoyingly persistant strain of “Badlife”…)
