In the future, we will all be travelling by hovertrousers.

More like SIEGE OF THE EYE-CATCHINGLY VISIBLE.

Van Vogt predicted the hypersonic missile… sort of.

Ted’s bondage fantasies grew increasingly elaborate over time.

And a second nose.

Gotta add, that’s a transportation option strictly for those obsessed with upper body exercise and/or hoping for a constant expectation of plummeting to your death.

There’s a movie called “Starcrash,” starring Caroline Munro, that is totally not a “Star Wars” rip-off. The rebels launch torpedoes at the evil empire’s enormous starship. And when the torpedoes crash through the walls of the ship, do they explode? No, they open up so that a soldier with a gun can pop out.
It sort of reminds me of this cover’s drone-delivered soldiers.

Ah, STARCRASH. 🙂
If we riffed on movies here, it would be on the list for sure.
Check it out here:

(I saw this Italian movie as a kid, not long after seeing STAR WARS, and even at the age of 8 or 9 I thought it was bad. The only thing it had going for it was Caroline Munro.)

Unseen by whom, I ask? Blind people? Men in brightly-colored uniforms clinging to small missiles are going to be visible to anyone with even a bit of vision.
I’m not sure how the metal lassos work, either. They look like plumbing thingys.

Hose clamps! That’s what they are, hose clamps.

Guess either Van Vogt or Valigursky was doing a bit of plumbing.
Better strapline and title:
“Evil had a plumbing supply business”. SIEGE OF THE AIRBORNE PLUMBERS.
@Tor: I saw that on video in the early 80s. Owned by a male friend who liked Star Wars and also fancied Ms. Munro.
It is truly… whatever Italian for je ne sais quoi is. Non so cosa?

Those guys aren’t the unseen. They’re besieging the unseen, which is in the background, where you don’t see it.

This cover and the subsequent comments have to be in my own top ten of personal GSS enjoyment.

I can see them just fine.
Third eye blind, maybe ?
