We asked for the Olympic women’s archery team, not the Olympic women’s back-arching team!

Harry Mudd Jr. and his atomic powered harem.

I’m not sure if this is Ewan McGregor or Tom Hiddleston. But if he puts on a helmet with big horns, the women are going to turn into Asgardian monsters.

But did it sell a lot of copies?

WTF is that geisha wearing?

“Team Bad Hair-Do, UNITE!”

@B’Mancer—I think that’s a futuristic space kimono, hard wired to all the pleasure centers. But the real question is WTF is he wearing?
August 3rd, 2021 at 9:00 pm
Oh no, they’re touchy-feely people. I’m out.

I don’t know where his right leg is or what it could possibly be doing.

Hands up who did NOT know immediately which publisher inflicted this on the market.
no hands raised Thought so.
Tom Hiddleston’s cousin didn’t quite know what to do with the woman who’d fainted. Or at least he hoped it was only a faint. But her torso did look pretty odd and skinny; had she starved to death?
His expression seems to say “She was like this when I found her, officer!”
@Ryan: I was thinking “at least their hairdos are short, much more practical on spaceships, and won’t get tangled in the Star Winds”. And no actual cleavage is showing, which is a surprise.
@fred: Maybe he doesn’t have one, so the girls are there to keep him standing.

I think my eyes are finally going out on me. If I embiggen the cover, it looks like a photograph of Tom Hiddleston’s cousin, but with the women painted in.
Does John Grimes have a thing for Second Life avatars, maybe?

And the expression “Ride the Star Winds” was spoiled for everyone forever.

“Everything I Know About Baen I Learned From GSS”
By Tor Mented.
Excerpt, Chapter 7
“I did not immediately peg the cover of “Ride the Star Winds” as indicating it was a Baen book. There’s no ‘splosions, no cat people, no huge honking guns or spaceships. The woman on the right has realistic proportions — she might be the artist’s girlfriend rather than a porn star.”

And sooooo little orange.

Another from this series that’s a little more Baen.

@fred
Huge honking gun
Nekkid woman
Big orange title
That’s the Baen I know.

@fred:
Big honking gun.
Nekkid woman
Large orange font.
That’s the Baen I know.

Maybe Tom’s cousin has his head stuck through one of those cutouts you see in tourist traps and fairs. That explains the lack of cleavage, sensible hairdos, and his missing right leg.
This particular display was brought to you by Second Life, which was still a big thing in 2012.

Look! It’s a robot geisha, Rooney Mara, David Duchovney, and Rooney Mara’s clone!

Wait… this is book IV? There are more of these? GSS – do we have proof that I through III exist? Are those covers equally, um, Baen-ish?
