Needs that Basil Poledouris music from ‘Conan’ where James Earl Jones changes into a giant snake.

“Northwind,” eh? There’s a euphemism I haven’t heard before.

So when the BBC adapted his famous book, do you think they looked at the cover of this one and thought ‘yes, snakes – that’s our title sequence’ and, if so, was the mosaic of Derek Jacobi a last-minute replacement for a collage of people in random statuesque poses?

@4, Tor Mented: Yes, “Northwind” as a euphemism is indeed odd.
Her hair doesn’t remind me of the north wind at all, no matter how strongly it demonstrates its anti-gravity properties.

It might be a typo—Northwand?

Doesn’t wind usually arise from the south end?
Maybe everything’s backwards in the future, as well as overly snake-y.
Dude seems to be fairly sensible, keeping his eyes on the giant scary and probably poisonous snake.
@L_L: another book that never had a good cover.
