Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Well it’s the 1980’s, so whats popular at the moment? Oh I know, why not put Rutger Hauer jumping on the back of an over-sized gremlin!! I mean that’s in the book… right? What!?! You didn’t read it either! It’s his 23rd book in the saga, I just assumed he’d be pretty good at it by now!

Rachel J’s Art Direction: All right, this cover practically designs itself. Think “teleportation”, “futuristic detectives” and “shapeshifting alien saboteurs hiding out on the Moon”. I’ll leave the details up to you…

Dragon is unimpressed by robot buttcheeks... but will enjoy that apple!

SteveAsat Comments: You know what robots need? Buttcheeks. You know what they don’t need? Backpacks. I like to imagine that the dragon thing flits around by gently flapping his headwings and he just lets the big ones dangle as he glides majestically overhead.

Art Direction: You know what I feel enhances any work of art… glow! Imagine the scene, two young lovers entwined in… tentacles… and around them a mystical blue glow to signify magic or possibly the sharing of deep feelings. Nah I’m just kidding, we all know what he’s going to use those things for. But the glow will enchance something I’m sure!

Adam Comments: The men being attacked by the sinister tentacle are not, in fact, wearing white leotards. They are covered in a fine white-haired pelt. I’m not sure who in the chain of events leading to the publishing of this book was taking copious amounts of drugs.
