Click for full imageWe all know what men want. Hunky muscles and tight underwear. No? Uh, strange stone monoliths? No? Leopard skin capes. No? Three horns coming out of his skull? What, seriously, no? Alright, have them all, but add two naked women caressing him. Classy eh? Actually, don’t answer me this time.
Thanks to CSA!

That loin cloth/thong looks extremely uncomfortable. Way too tight.
* insert pun about him being ‘horny’ *

It is a bit tight… hmmm…must be a cold day

looks like half his arm is leopard, not sure about the spikes coming out of his head and that seat looks pretty darn hard to get on and doesn’t even have a cushion. Where would the two delightful young ladies sit I wonder?
…on second thoughts don’t answer that question.

I love his expression: Oh God, not more sexy writhing women…again.
It must be so difficult to be that spikey and all muscley.
I am not entirely sure I would want to read a book that sounds like a phlegmic spit.
Nor am I convinced that I would be tempted by an author who admits to writing The Voyage of the Space Beagle.

“I am not entirely sure I would want to read a book that sounds like a phlegmic spit.”
The ‘P’ is silent. So, actually, is the final ‘H’. The Book of Tat. There you go.

Voyage of the space beagle?? How the heck did I miss that one all day??
Better warn you Roses, CSA sent me a few covers with some naked women on them. He tells me he found them in a second hand book shop…. I think we know though…. we know…

i felt dirty just taking a photo of it.
I think i’d rather stroll into the porn shop 3 doors down and buy “Sex Trek the Next Penetration” on VHS than stand in line up to pay for some of the fantasy books i saw in the bookshop.
I don’t think a brown paper bag would be enough to hide that cover from the public, people would still somehow know id just bought a bad fantasy novel… they’d just know… I’d see them, judging me with their eyes…

The _Voyage of the Space Beagle_? Don’t worry, it’s named after the ship Darwin travelled on, not the annoying floppy dogs. And the loosely-described ‘plot’ of the book is just like that expedition in no way whatsoever.
(God only knows what Panther did to *its* cover. The Book of Ptath is one book which would have been justified in having a Baen-style huge-explosions cover, so what did they give it? A softcore porn cover. I suppose it *was* a sixties publisher.)

Adam, you’re not selling it to me.
Woo Hoo more naked, lusty women….right.
Umm…
I’m a very heterosexual woman.
Mind you, buff, spikey, half-leopard barbarian isn’t doing much for me at the moment. Actually, he didn’t do much for me yesterday either.
Nix, I’m trying to imagine the cover of Voyage of the Space Beagle…I bet it’s got a rocket, pastel sky, guy in a space suit, big gun and two scantily clad women clinging to his legs.

If it makes you feel any better Roses and some what worrying on my behalf, I have taken a good few hunky men covers. So you’re covered there, though everyone of them seems to be built like a gladiator.

Aka The Book of Shwing! Aka the Book of Boing!
When all else fails … breasts.

Roses: I’m afraid my Panther edition of _Voyage of the Space Beagle_ is very boring and Pantherish. The book *is* mostly about the voyages of a spacecraft and the horrible dangerous bastards it encounters on the way, though as far as I know the spacecraft isn’t anywhere near as ridiculously-shaped as the cover illo. (I think a picture of Coeurl would have been much niftier, though it might have made Good Show Sir: an oddly-coloured panther with hands, after all… it’s somewhat strange *Panther* Books didn’t choose to do that, really.)

Believe it or not, but that is EXACTLY what Silvio Berlusconi thinks he sees in the mirror.
