Now that’s what you call a star jump. The future of gymnastics? Yes, I believe it is.

Actually, this is a pretty good SF book cover. The art is original and stylishly made (and weird, but I like weird covers), the fonts are tastefully used…
Can you imagine the Baen Books version? Can you imagine how over-the-top it would be? Think about it, won’t you?

Pin him(?) to a fencepost and give him(?) a spin, and he’d be a human(?) catherine wheel. He(?)’s just dying to say, “Wheeeeeee!”

The first thing I noticed about this cover was the classic 1970′s color scheme of gold. brown, and olive. Then I noticed the two aliens and quickly gave up trying to figure out what was going on there. “At least there’s a hunk,” I thought when I saw the nekkid man in the lower right corner; however, he seems to have the hindquarters of a woman.

Pointy hats are perfect for baby gymnastic lifts above your head!

Where’s my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes “shhjziklechuffchuffzzzzzp”.
It’s a…umm…err…night light.
That is not my cow.

Why does it have SO MANY KNEES

Inexplicable cover featuring disturbing naked aliens doing gymnastics? Garish color scheme?
THIS is how you sell sci-fi novels!

“Why does it have SO MANY KNEES”
- So that it can knee Donald Trump in the groin three times simultaneously.

To be fair, this would greatly improve all those reality dance programs on the BBC!

Someone took “Dancing With the Stars” rather literally.

The tall one with lots of knees reminds me a bit of Bender from Futurama.

I believe either his legs telescope, or they’re made of bamboo.

Must be a great book. Just look at all the effort the owner took to tape it back together!

Never before have I so badly wanted to know what, exactly, is going on in a cover. Are the aliens melting, or are those tentacles? Decorative streamers? Are those halos part of their heads? Why is that guy naked?

they’re either mating… Or junior is being held aloft to see the A380 at Farnborough. Which seems a bit irresponsible considering he’s shooting lasers from his eyes. You know what… standard archeologist’s explanation, its some sort of religious act.

‘Phil…god, Phil, what have you done?’
‘Sweetheart, I’ve combined our creche with my twin loves of termites and model rocketry. As soon as I take off my control-top hose, I’m going to put it out on the front lawn!’

I’ve just remembered that IAN WATSON is an anagram of NOW A SAINT.
Dunno about Michael Bishop though.

If I can . . . just . . . touch . . . the alien’s right ankle, maybe this guy’s clothes will magically come back on. I can’t take much more of that waistline—it’s higher and narrower than mine!
