Why? On what Star Trek cover did they use an A-wing and/or a submarine?

It was one of the Strange New Worlds anthologies.

TNG novel #1 'Ghost Ship' used an upside down Battlestar Galactica

It was one of the Strange New Worlds anthologies.

Though on the cover as published, it was replaced with the Delta Flyer after fans on the Internet pointed it out.

Wasn't there another novel which had Colonial Vipers?

Yup, The Romulan Way.

That's totally unacceptable. I prefer old TOS covers which had rocket flames and smoke firing from the Enterprise nacelles and shuttlebay!

 

[Markonian]

Really like that cover and, @Captain of the USS Averof, thank you for identifying that ship. It looks really cool - retro but aerodynamic. I hope the book doesn't contradict the look.

 

[Christopher]

I hope the book doesn't contradict the look.

I didn't describe it in detail, just an advanced-looking scout ship. Whether that ship fits the bill is for the observer to decide.

Note to Pocket Books: I want this for my next cover. I don't even care what series it ends up being for. MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

As I said, the ship in the scene portrayed there is not of any design ever encountered before in the Federation (at least as of the 24th century). Using a familiar Trek ship would be misrepresenting the story.

And how is it any more incongruous than the antique clock faces on the covers of Watching the Clock, Forgotten History, and The Collectors? Or the abstract blue shapes of Time Lock?

I'm a bit more forgiving when it comes to abstract things like that. Reconsidering it a bit,I guess I can see going the way they did with it a stock non-Trek ship since people would probably complain if they used a familiar ship which didn't actually appear in the book.

That's totally unacceptable. I prefer old TOS covers which had rocket flames and smoke firing from the Enterprise nacelles and shuttlebay!

That is hilarious and awesome at the same time. Where did it come from?

Back cover of Star Trek Annual 1976. Just google "Star Trek Annual" and let your eyes feast on the awesomeness of '70s Star Trek art! For some reason they all had the rocket nacelles/secondary hull!

Interesting how they covered up Spock's ears in that picture. I wonder if the BBC was having any of the same concerns NBC had had in the early days...?

 

[Jarvisimo]

Just to share and put in its right place here, this appears to have been one of Doug Drexler's cover designs for Enigma Tales. Love it, very dark and rather allegorical

He seems to be experimenting with using more character stuff, between this, Prey, and an unused cover he posted which I'm guessing was for Enigma Tales.

Whoa. that leather get-up looks positively Blade-esque!

That image just looks disturbingly dodgy.

Garak is a dangerous man... and yes, the children in the image are disturbing. As I think they should be!

Garak I'm sure is a dangerous man and enjoys many different, less than morally acceptable things, but I hope to god he doesn't enjoy the company of children in "that" way.

No no, of course he doesn't. The children are (a) dolls or (b) statues - and suggestive of allegorical status (perhaps as children) which he protects.

If you say so.

Or maybe not - they do have skin textures!

 

[JWolf]

Can that awful overly large picture of Garak stop being posted & reposted? Thanks.

 

[DS9forever]

What does Drexler think happens in ST novels?!?

 

[JD]

Going by that picture, I don't know if I want to know.

 

[The Wormhole]

It's the creepy baby ghosts dancing around Garak that really gets to me.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Sith/Goth Garak's hands all over the small children looks super creepy even though he's probably protecting them.

 

[MadeIndescribable]

Did someone confuse Andrew Robinson's appearances as Garak with that of Hellraiser???
