    A whaling trip, more like: Tharthee blows!

  2. Tom Noir Says:

    A quick check showed them that the Kremlin spires on their spacecraft were still intact.

  3. Michael Toland Says:

    The little green guy seems to be saying, “Heeeeyyy! Whassup?”

  4. Mike G. Says:

    He only wrote 2 books, _Saturnalia_, and this one, which is a sequel to _Saturnalia_.

    Both good books – too bad he didn’t write more…

    It is a very 80′s SF cover, though, I agree :)

    It’s the Alien Fonz: “Ayyy…!” (cue wild audience applause and whooping until he signals for abrupt silence).

  6. SI Says:

    “Darling… that alien has a third ear.. can’t I use the toilet on another planet?”

    How does that hair fit in that helmet?

  8. David Cowie Says:

    Little green guy has six fingers.
    I suspect that the author never said the title out loud until it was too late to change. Tharthee. Tharthee. Tharthee.

  9. Ian Says:

    Two Lion (Lyon) titles in a row… Is this a theme week?

  10. chuffmunky Says:

    can we start a new tag for ‘failiens’? lol

  11. Adam Roberts Says:

    Life begins at Tharthee.

  12. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    Reading the title makes me wonder if Daffy Duck makes an appearance…

  13. Phil Says:

    Dethpicable!

  14. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Look, it’s Björk!

  15. Ian Says:

    Maybe that is a misprint… “A Lion on Tharthee” might have really been “Alien on Tharthee”…

  16. Jerk of all Trades Says:

    Damn that alien’s got tiny hands.

  17. Tim Says:

    At least we know the answer to “Whatever happened to Kristy MacNichol?”

  18. Rags Says:

    17!!! I counted 17 fingers on this cover!

  19. Rags Says:

    Candice Bergen on Thhartee!!

  20. Dave Says:

    Beast Boy?
