Yup, that’s a strange world all right, with the black representing being lost in time. I appreciate when cover blurb and art mesh in perfect artistic harmony. Lost in time? No. Perfection to last in time. All time. Forever.
On second thought perfection would be a scantily clad Frazetta babe with a big ass representing a lost world, and another scantily clad Frazetta babe with big bazooms representing the whole lost in time thing. Throw in a giant snake encoiling them both to tie the title into both the blurb and art.
Until the discovery of tectonic plates encircling the earth, no one could account for the drifting of continents, yet clearly there was a pattern emerging . . . .
I know what’s going on here – these are ancient faceshards found by archaeologists at a dig site, and they’ve pieced this guy’s face together from what they’ve found so far. Obviously, there are still a few pieces missing.

And the GSS regulars got him ready to go!

Eating forty cakes can ruin your complexion.
That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible.

Ha ha ha what a story A.R. Yngve!
Anyway, you can’t write a novel without breaking a few heads.

The tragedy…hit by the Moozlamik Ray Gunz he so feared!

Strange worlds.
Lost in time.
Have all pieces.
Doesn’t want to fit together.

Not a fan of this new, modernist interpretation of Humpty Dumpty.

“Is this book written by THE Bertram Chandler?”
‘No, it’s by A Bertram Chandler. We keep a few in stock for just such occasions.”
