Click for full imageThere comes a time in a person’s life when they see something so beautiful it brings tears to their eyes. Space ships, laser rifles, power backpacks, France being destroyed and of course, the mighty lizardman with a mohawk. People will cry my friend, people will cry for hours.
Thanks to CSA!
(I’m off for the next couple of days so no more updates till next week. Enjoy!)

Wow… just wow… What a find……
To be very fair to the man. At least he’s spelt colonisation the correct british way.
Unless it was changed for a British release.

That’s one of the most unconvincing lizardmen i’ve ever seen. There’s just something about it that looks really fake, (not that i’m an expert on what a lizardman should look like). The neck is freaky and the mohawk is just stupid looking.

I love the way the title has a glowing halo thing going out in an explosive fashion and, if this wan’t enough, a horizontal glow bit going across Aftershocks.
Kaapow! Wow, can’t you just feel the world shuddering with the force of this book.
And he’s got such a big laser gun and there’s the Eiffel Tower, and…wow..just everything!

One thing we can be certain of, in this otherwise horribly uncertain world: intelligent lizard men would go into war naked. Especially if the war were in the chilly northern hemisphere.

The more I look at it the more it drags me in. It’s like every action movie poster ever created, but with a lizard.
Oh and his tongue is clearly trying to taste his microphone headset. Bad lizard! Bad!

That has to be the campest Lizard man I’ve ever seen grace a book cover.

microphone headset! That was really bothering me, i seriously couldn’t work out what it was. I actually thought it was something stuck to the cover haha.
Your right Adam, a Paris winter would clearly wipe out any cold blooded reptilian invader. I was gonna buy it untill you pointed that out, i just can’t take it seriously now
Do you think he’s meant to be godzilla sized or is the Eiffel tower just far away? i really want him to be godzilla size…

Wow! Like someone was watching Godzilla and thought ‘you know what would make this even better?! If he had a huge lasar gun! and it was in Paris!’
These are thoughts that certainly crossed my mind whenever I watch it.

I note that the Eiffel Tower no longer appears to be located in Paris, but on a flat plain somewhere with no surrounding buildings to spoil the view. Either they moved it (perhaps by launching it into orbit a-la _The Reproductive System_, then landing it again, without bending a single girder), or they levelled Paris but carefully left the tower alone for the sake of this shot. Considerate of them.

Oh, and I must protest. We asked for more half-naked women and you gave us a naked lizard. But maybe the lizard is female. It’s hard to tell with lizards.
It’s impressive that this lizard is both active enough to engage in combat with mammals and has what appears to be fully functioning binocular vision: unusual in lizards. Perhaps this is a not a lizard but a dinosaur? ‘Cos we all know the dinosaurs had laser guns: one small temporal portal — that’s the glowy thing at the bottom of the picture — and they’d be all over Paris like there’s no tomorrow. Still not accurate, though: if it’s a dinosaur, it should be feathered.

“Your right Adam, a Paris winter would clearly wipe out any cold blooded reptilian invader.”
Well maybe that’s why he’s blowing everything up! Making fire on a large scale to keep himself warm!

It really does look like something a student in a college multimedia course would create.
Blowing everything up is a good way to get temporary warmth. Can’t imagine the Eiffel Tower providing much kindling though. Plenty of the stuff in the Louvre though!

Great find,
Most of of the Colonization novels had terrible covers, the last reprint was much better.
Check out the Guns of the South by the same author great book another naff cover.

Haha just checked that out. Nice to see a nice southern gentleman holding an AK-47!
I’ll have to look out for that one!

How does Adam know that the lizard man is naked? This is just his febrile imagination at work. As far as I can tell he’s wearing some kind of brightly luminescent underpants.
