Click for full imageThrow out this idea of a whole picture and think in terms of layers. Just concentrate on four of them, a women with a bad hair cut firing a laser, a tiny women in a floating tea cup, a huge bald guy about to attack and some people in an arena watching. Slap it all together and we’re sorted!

Do you think Elizabeth Moon was upset that only Anne got a red diamond around her name?
Love the parallelogram around the title of the book, and also the trapezium around the number 3.
Its a good day to be a quadrilateral, yep, a very good day.

The woman’s pose is an almost direct swipe from a still of Princess Leia. The artist has just made her hair look even more absurd.

I like to think Mongo, in the background, is saying: ‘let go of my tie you crazy dwarf-woman!’

Also. CSA: sorry, I wasn’t listening. What was that you said about Anne Diamond?

Are the generation warriors the 2 women?? is it her daughter? her mother? her sister??!! .. I have to read this book

She does have the patented Janeway hairdo. But the laser gun is clearly from starwars.
I think the women are actually one in the same person. I think the image of her shooting is meant to be from a different scene from the courtroom drama behind. I’m most likely wrong, but it’s still what i think goddammit.

I really hope Anne McCaffrey signs her name with the diamond that way.

This cover is a cultural snapshot — see how it starts all “80s” at the top, then the 90s start to bleed into it…

@A.R.Yngve: I must confess I don’t see it, though the shooting woman seems almost 60s or 70s from the neck down… It’s positively Space: 1999.
That guy is one huge mother and therefore, so are the ladies. Either that or the spectators are tiny.
