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!

    Minnie Driver doesn’t have time for tartan travel blankets.

    When Voiha Wakes s/he will be pleasantly refreshed. Picking space-daisies is just such darn hard work but it’s nothing a good nap can’t cure. And then they’ll all stroll home for (space) tea. The end.

    I want to know how that ginormous rock got its way to the top of one of those mountain spires.

    What this cover needs is more stuff:

    1. A badly written blurb, preferably worded as a convoluted rhetorical question (such as “Will Voiha fulfil his destiny as savior of Generica or succumb to the Quest Nap of Fate?”)

    2. A “Foreword by Isaac Asimov”

    3. A “First Printing Anywhere!” spiky tag

    4. A choppy review quote removed from a meaningful context: “Spellbinding […] Imaginative […] Epic.”

    5. The tagline “ANDRE NORTON PRESENTS.”

    When Voiha Wakes … we can get this damn novel started.

    The Marvel comics adaptation would be titled “When Wakes Voiha.”

    Be sure to read the exciting sequels, “When Voiha Hits the Snooze Button” and “When Voiha Rolls Over and Takes All the Covers.”

    No, the title’s an instruction not to joy-chant while Voiha’s asleep .We can later, but we’ll need Space Sheep for her unless there’s a discarded shirt out of shot.

    Neeho had Voiha in a creditable pin, and would have earned the point had not the referee left his zither lying in the meadow.

    ‘I hope Voiha wakes soon, because I can’t feel my legs anymore.’

    “Are you going get up or are you just going to lyre there all day?”

    Orpheus just isn’t feeling it.

    At first glance, I saw ‘When Vodka Wakes’, and it seemed like a good idea.

    When Voiha wakes . . . he’ll still be crushed that he can’t afford those fabulous shoes!

    (I could have sworn I posted this earlier. Must be watching too many old baseball replays.)

    @B’Mancer—GSS! 😉

    I am slightly unsure of the gender of the sitting person.

    And if Voiha will wake before the tidal forces of that giant suspiciously close moon tear the place apart.

    Also, that’s a zither, not a lute. Like the narrator in RHPS, it has no neck. I demand a correction! Or, rather, it’d be nice if there was one.

    And can we get a “Unicorns!” tag too? I know the publisher was credited, but I love that tag.

    @GSS and @B’man: GSS!

    @ARY: I think it needs an Anne McCaffrey quote.

    @NomadUK: I’ll drink to that.
