Beachhead Planet. Fighting the brain-snatchers. The Beachbrain snatchers, is that?

The Beachbrain Snatchers? Weren’t they a pop rock group from the 60’s?
Were the huge dragons stealing brains or something else. Maybe the dragon is like his method of travel. Which is pretty sweet looking.

Tiny man holding tiny sword walks cautiously across head of gargoyle. He contemplates jumping off to kill himself on the rocks below. No wait, that was Beachy Head Planet.

The cover art is your standard Good-Show-Sir affair – solidly awful. However, the art is dwarfed by the tag line. Not often that a mere 7 words can convey so much about how much a book will stinketh. Completely awesome.

“He fought the invasion of the brain snatchers” …with a sword.
It’s a well known fact that beings with the technology to snatch your brain are often easily defeated with swords.

He fought invasion of the brain-snatchers…for about three seconds until he found out he had been standing on one the whole time
(the rest of the book is about the bridge club on Beachhead Planet)

Beachead Planet.
Wasn’t this made into a movie starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon?

Something he ate didn’t agree with that gargoyle — he looks sick, and there are “drunk bubbles” dancing around his head. Maybe he is also hallucinating the little man on his head.

For a moment there, I thought the title was BONEHEAD PLANET.

Little guy with sword:
“OK – who stole one of my dragon’s head novelty slippers?!”

I do wonder what the kiwi in the foreground thinks of it all.

That’s a very small surfboard for a man of his mighty stride
