Click for full imageIt was my late teens and I was studying hard at some top notch university. Then came the LSD and it was all, floating semi translucent men surrounded by magical orbs in a forest being watched by unicorns. I suppose that has something to do with the world of cats, right?

Fantastic cover. But..
‘Return to the world of cats have no lord…’
I am the only one struggling to understand that?

Its a top quality cover.
And you’re not the only one struggling… i really cant get my head around the cat thing. The blurb is also pretty funny.
Even the unicorn looks like its confused by the guy there.

The unicorn’s expression is priceless ‘WTF?’ (actually do unicorns swear?)
And why is the man going swirly blue from the waist down? Is it so that from a passing glance it looks like he’s just wearing jeans? Or is so that we can be profoundly grateful that he’s not gone swirly blue from the waist up . . .
Cats have no Lord being in very slight italics we are presumably expected to know that this was the title to the previous book in the series (and of course Cats have No Lord was SO successful we all know that right?). As opposed to wandering away feeling as if English must be our second language.

So, you’ve got a hole-punch. Its plastic reservoir is full of all the little circles of paper you’ve punched out of the many documents you’ve recently filed into ring-binders. But then you make the mistake of trying to empty it whilst standing over a hot air vent! Oh dear!

Who would call their world, cats have no lord?
But thanks for clearing that up Simon. You haven’t heard of the book, Cats have no lord? It’s the follow up to Dogs have a largely corrupt but economically viable monarchy.

“Who would call their world, cats have no lord? ”
Will Shetterly, thats who.
And SI, you might actually be right;
Wiki says: “Will Sheterly…. best-known for his novel Dogland (1997)”

Dude is doing his best Matthew McConaughey impression. Cats and shirts have no lord. All the cover needs is Kate Hudson. Best read with “Browned Eyed Girl” playing in the background to complete the rom-com cliche.

Cats Have No Lord was a fairly interesting book of the “based on my D&D campaign” sort. In the second book, it turns out that the entire world was really an MMO run by an AI that’s come awake, and we get a totally different take on the situation by knowing that.
And yes, The Hidden Land came out long before .Hack//Sign.

I would have been really pissed off to read a book only to discover it was a matrix or mmo. I cant imagine how outraged ive have been if i watched Dallas only to discover it was a dream and therefore making it completely null and void.
Not seen Hack//Sign, but i imagine its fairly obvious its a game from the first episode (and the back of the DVD)… rather than watching it for 5-6 hours before realising it doesnt matter.
