*See top half of cover on my screen*
“Hm, yeah, pretty boring.”
*Scroll down and see rest of cover*
“PpPpPpPpPp” [loud involuntary raspberry sound]

Crewman number 6 realized, after a long, frightful moment, that everything he’d heard was true–he was a goner. The transporter would never make it to him in time.

Such is the fate of redshirts, unfortunately.

If only I didn’t have only one, but two lazy eyes, 6 thought – I would not have been running in the wrong direction. – Well, I will try yodelling.

And not even the decency to credit the author the way he always preferred to have his name presented… “E.E. Smith, PhD”

I prefer books where the author or their authorized agent have signed off on the proof pages.

I am painfully aware how poorly proofed and formatted public domain texts can be. Such free reads are worth every penny you pay for them. (Yes P.D. texts can be a godsend to fans of out-of-print works.)

There is a word for people who dredge the public domain for their own profit, and the word is not “fan”.

Why do I hear typical “Sims” wharrrgarbl when I look at this cover?
