Lauren F Comments: Two covers for the price of one! But you’ll spend all your time trying to figure out the front cover so they may as well have left the back cover blank.

New from Parker Brothers! Fun for all the family! “You’ve chained my lady!” Only 20.99!

The title must surely be a euphemism for something…

Oh my this is a mess. Busy busy, and none of it very attractively done. And the summary on the back is going to make me want to overlook the cover.. oh wait. No it’s not.
The mistress of Space is enslaved! Well, Space warned her what would happen if his wife ever found out about them.

But if it’s “untold humiliation” won’t it be a fairly thin book?

By the way, Avon, Baen called. They’d like their cover back. Immediately if not sooner.

Er, shouldn’t that be “daughter of Flintstone, the caveman”? And shouldn’t she be bringing peanuts to the people of cluster?

Piers Anthony? BDSM? What can possibly go wrong?

Looks like a lost episode of LEXX.
Is that big red thing on the front cover a cape or a plant?

So what do they call it when the people of Cluster massively screw up?
September 4th, 2013 at 5:17 am
@Jane 12—they call it “The Second Novel in the Cluster Trilogy.”
September 4th, 2013 at 5:20 am
The third and final volume will, of course, be called “Cluster’s Last Stand.”

Hey, E.L. James and Piers Anthony should write a book together:
FIFTY CHAINS OF XANTH.

Is the kneeling nude woman holding a jug or a cuttlefish?

Piers Anthony’s
EMBARRASSING THE LADY, THE GENT AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS COVER

“But first she must endure untold humiliation…” – so this untold humiliation seems to entail watering the plants whilst naked, and enduring caped bug-men trying to tickle your behind…Oh the horror!

Glad to see that in the distant, spacefaring future polaroids make a comeback!

@Tom: that’s the world’s largest laser printer they’re exploring.
TEN CENTURIES AFTER THE WAR OF ENERGY SAVER MODE, KONICA OF MINOLTA–DAUGHTER OF FUJITSU THE CANON–ASSUMES THE FORM OF RED, GREEN AND BLUE, TO BRING VICTORY TO THE PEOPLE OF COMPAQ AGAINST THE APPLE SPACEFLEET. BUT FIRST SHE MUST ENDURE ENDLESS PRINTER-HEAD CLEANING…

Insects in the bacon tree were becoming a problem.

Not meaning to nitpick here — we never stoop to that — but technically speaking, what does “mistress” of “Space” mean really?
Is there a “Lover of Space” as well?
And a “We’re Just Friends of Space”…?

@AR: SPACE: THE FINAL FRIENDZONE.
