Bibliomancer Comments: It would take more more than a human and less than a man … something like that Space Meerkat … BEHIND YOU!
Published 1978

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 8.04 out of 10)

    It’s a pity the Beach Zone in The Crystal Maze never caught on.

  2. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Points for the competently rendered mid ground.

  3. JuanPaul Says:

    Ever dance with a meerkat in the pale moonlight? How about with a giant glow-stick?

  4. Francis Boyle Says:

    Judging by his codpiece bald guy is definitely not going to be the one to save the “damned on Ondine”.

  5. B. Chiclitz Says:

    It would take more than a cover and less than a book to save the damned
    on GSS . . .

    That’s the worst toupee I’ve ever seen, nobody has that much blue hair except Mrs Slocombe.

  7. fred Says:

    Looks like a Space Coatimundi to me.
    Elf ears?

  8. Tat Wood Says:

    ‘Ondine’ is French for ‘Mermaid’. Do you think there was a multi-lingual mix-up over what was supposed to be looming over Slaphead Surfer?

    ♫ Hold my glow stick, shiny dancer ♫
    ♫ Coatimundi’s in the skyway ♫

    So . . . bald man in a wetsuit holds a glowing green hose-thing by a beach while a giant meerkat alien watches from the background.

    I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, other than “this cover was made on drugs” or “this book is strange”.

    Dinsdale!

    DI-I-I-INSDA-A-ALE

    He came for a beach rave… but he came too late. Now he raves alone, one of the lost
    DANCERS IN THE AFTERGLOW

    I’ve seen this episode of Evangelion before. It doesn’t end well.

  15. HappyBookworm Says:

    Well, you’re bound to get afterglow spots in your eyes if you dance around with the world’s biggest glow bracelet…

    @dswbt I don’t remember the Angel of Meerkats. And I was there.

  17. Doyle Harken Says:

    Well, since this is a Chalker book chances are good the guy becomes the meerkat at some point.

  18. RachelJ Says:

    At last, giant coatimundis take their rightful place as sci-fi icons. All those cat-people and space dinosaurs *were* getting a trifle monotonous.

  19. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Ikari Gendo: Armisael, doofus.

  20. Tat Wood Says:

    @Dead Stuff: I clicked and was told it was forbidden. What can be so disturbing about a Meerkat angel? Was it tortured horribly for trying to sell cheaper car insurance to the Sephiroth?

  21. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Tat: Updated the link, it should work now.
