Think of the stunts Buster Keaton could have pulled off with THAT locomotive. He would have put Legolas to shame.

For some reason, I have an image of Lemmy looking through a second hand bookshop one day in the ’80s when Motorhead weren’t touring, finding a copy of this paperback, and a lightbulb going on over his head:

The artist was two on the nose.

I can’t decide if this is zany or wacky.

If you think part two of the Krishna Series is odd, wait until you reach the late 50s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsmiupNoIcc
(This was on BBC2 every Saturday afternoon c.1990-2. The version we got had subtitles but, globally, it’s probably the most-watched drama in television history. There were 91 episodes, watched on first broadcast by 115 million people per week. In your face, ‘Game of Thrones’.)

Will the admin PLEASE include a “WTF” tag on this one.

These are pretty good books, but needless to say, I probably didn’t read this one with this cover.
The critter on the cover is rendered pretty accurately. Even though it looks generated by AI.
@ARY: Seconded. The ears alone need a WTF.

If the elephantine creature motivating those train carriages moves at an elephantine pace, I do not wish to travel on its interplanetary journey.
Slowest excursion ever launched, I would imagine.
Also, why are the numerals “26” on the front of said beast upside down?

“Zei, brother, can you spare an elephantine engine?”

Don’t get me wrong, I love L.Sprague de Camp. But who wants to read about a bunch of Interplanetary Viagrans?

@B. Chiclitz: nobody at Baen seems ever to have wondered that.

@Tat: None of the male characters there ever need medical help. Ugly, grody, stupid, near death, whatever — they’re so Manly.

One night, in the Sprague de Camp household:
Lyman: Dad! Tell us a story about trains!
Gerard: No! I want a story about elephants!
Lyman: Trains!
Gerard: Elephants!
Lyman: Choo-choos!
Gerard: Ellies!
Dad: Guys, settle down now. Get ready for a story about an elephant that IS a train.
Kids: WTF?

Is that… _smoke_ coming out of the ear/flower/trumpet things? Are we supposed to assume this is a coal-burning elephant?
June 27th, 2023 at 10:35 pm
@Bruce: Of course it is, silly. They’re not allowed really advanced tech or electronics, so the elephant would have to be coal-powered at best.
