It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Dominic Flandry Showcase
Good Show sir Comments:
1. Poul Anderson pulls a George R.R. Martin; kills off Flandry in a first chapter surprise!
2. Signet decides that putting Flandry’s face or name on the cover does not sell books.
Thanks to Charles for sending one in.

Frank Comments: Good thing that fern was handy, else the publisher would have had to get really blatant with that maple leaf. All the electronic equipment out among the foliage is worrisome too. I’ve seen what happens when that sort of thing is left in a damp environment and it’s not good for continued operation.

Frank Comments: My reaction was “It’s a trap!” In the interest of repeating the experiment, today I showed this book to another volunteer in our organization and asked her “Male or female?” She got different answers for different sides of the neck line too. I think she found this somewhat distressing.

Art Direction: Look I’m so sci-fi medical expertician but, the inevitable side effect of putting crystals in your eyes has got to be a large head, baldness and a lack of lips. Maybe the loss of chest hair too.
