The Omega Cage

This robot really knows were to rip clothes. We look excellent.Click for full image

So when people escape from prison what usually happens to them? That’s right, their clothes rip. So the guy will be showing his well shaved muscle bound chest where as the women will show basically everything.  We’ll have that, but with Mechs too! Because what cover isn’t improved with the addition of Mechs?

Thanks to Christopher!

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 7.42 out of 10)

    “The critics had really taken a disliking to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bonnie Tyler’s duet on a cover version of ‘My Endless Love’.”

    Steve Perry, from Journey?

    I like the thoughtful look the guy has on his face. It’s kinda like she is saying, ‘Look, you either have me or the huge killer robot behind us. Are you so afraid of a little commitment?’

    That Mech doesn’t have opposing thumbs – how is it going to catch them?

    @DeadRobot Good call! NO one escaped…until now. Oh wait! The 80s came back again. When will we EVER escape?

    It’s ok James. Curly Perms and mullets are timeless.

    From the ripples I’d hazard a guess that they’re not running away ever so quickly. Perhaps she doesn’t want to muss up her artfully ‘just got up and been chased by a killer robot’ 80s hair style.

    My favourite bit: the giant lawn sprinkler in the background.

    “The Omega cage, it was the highest security prison. Well, actually not as high security as the Alpha ,Beta ,Gamma ,Delta ,Epsilon ,Zeta ,Eta ,Theta ,Iota ,Kappa ,Lambda ,Mu ,Nu ,Xi ,Omicron ,Pi ,Rho ,Sigma ,Tau ,Upsilon ,Phi ,Chi or Psi cages, but it was still a fairly decent prison.”

    Your claim that this is not a Baen book is not borne out by the appalling cover art. I suppose Baen was consciously trying to emulate the ‘cover art of yore’…

    I have that book. Good read, ridiculous cover.
