Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Lets not beat around the bush… though best not to show any of that… lets keep the randy teenagers guessing by covering her with… sperm shaped space ships! I think this is the cover this climax deserves.

I just have images of justifying this on a bus, “It’s not what you think! It’s the climax of an epic saga!”

I honestly thought sperm-shaped spaceships were GSS’s new space sheep.

I came upon this same cover at my local bookshop.
But then I was too embarrassed to take a photo.

@BM: “I came upon this same cover…”
That’s the thing about this cover – it looks like someone already did!

Goodness! The E and the D are in flagrante delicto!

Eric Van Badluster seems tremendously overexcited by Sean Young’s space nudism.

It’s Jews. JEWS! JEWS IN SPACE NOT COOZ IN SPACE!

Are we sure that’s a girl? And what does the blurb have to do with anything?
July 6th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
@Tat – Hmmmm…hips?…adams apple?…5 o’clock shadow? The blurb isn’t intact. Top line is ‘Not since Dune…’, which adds a whole other layer to Mr Lustbader’s blathering.

Mr. Lustbader is the author of THE NINJA, so everything he says should be taken very. seriously.

Has anyone else noticed that the sperm-ships have tiny faces??? Or did I grab the wrong pill bottle again?

Don Ivan Punchatz fans will want to have this cover version, suitable for framing ($46.99+), to hang in their boudoir.

So I guess Brunette Space Goddess is the sister of Blonde Space Goddess, last seen on the covers of “Up to the Sky in Ships” and “The Star-Crowned Kings”.
As for Van Badluster, he is of course one of the most subtle and cryptic authors of the 20th Century. You might think that “The Ninja” is about a ninja, but you would be wrong. It’s actually about *two* ninjas. Which, then, is *the* Ninja, to whom the title refers? The reader is left pondering this eternal enigma.

‘Not since Lust have we witnessed a ninja struggle of such bad intensity!’

“Not since Ninja have we powered a lust struggle of such awesome badness!”
Dune van Intensity, author of The Eric.

@RachelJ: 🙂 I shouldn’t have even tried…

Thanks to Bibliomancer, I now want to know if the back cover of this book also shows an attempt to deface the special limited edition Obergefell Vs Hodges commemorative coin.

“Van ninjas.. We struggled.. The power… Not had bad lust of such intensity since.”
Eric Duner, author of Awesome!, a witness.

The time window for spaceships passing just in front of the lady’s private parts should be… off the top of my head… 0.1 millionth of a second.

Those are either sperm-shaped spaceships (try saying that three times fast), or “space fish”. Take your pick.

@B’mancer: oh, I wish I had followed your link earlier! I could have bought a package of holiday cards with the space sperm fish ships on it. Ah, well, there’s always next year…

And the ‘Kerrions’ …did anyone think to get their thoughts on this subject?
