    Blimey. Monster cloud cat. I know the lady is the main subject, but the cat-fog thing from the winged planet steals the show.

    Is it me, or is she balding on the right side of her head only?

    Either way, that widows peak makes her look like Ray Reardon’s sister.

    I don’t recall Miss de Vries or Mr. Cruse describing the cloud cat like that…there seem to be a lot more teeth, and a lot less muscle and bone.

    Surely the first recorded appearance of a Vulcan. Actually, quite a decent cover. The back cover could go further: they used “amazing” and “astounding” but they missed “thrilling wonder”.

    Ironically, most SF book cover designs ARE “a shot in the dark.”

    Must get me some of this “new kind of reading thrill” – before they make it illegal.
