cover of bj book

[Emperor Harkonnen]

are those black crablike creatures on the cover of the bj book, cymeks?

if so are those small ones neo-cymeks and the large one is maybe Agamemnon?

[Dunenewt]

I think so :-

[Acriku]

That thing in the sandworm's mouth is...

[hide]An Omnius machine sent as an establishment probe (settle on planet, take it over, and establish an Omnius empire on it), and it is eaten by the sandworm, never seen again. Perhaps in the Battle of Corrin book we will see what happened to it. Because a sandworm shouldn't be able to kill that powerful and dangerous machine IMO.[/hide]

[Vanguard3000]

Acriku: I think they're talking about the European cover.

[hide]And think about the size and power of a sandworm. Of course it could destroy the probe. It was only armed with some small lasguns.[/hide]

[Acriku]

Oh...didn't realize that they had different covers...

[hide]This was omnius, the thing is technologically advanced, when I was reading it I half expected the sandworm to glow for a second then explode in molten skin and guts.[/hide]

[Vanguard3000]

[hide]Remember that the Machines never intended to find much resistance, since they were scouting unexplored planets, or "backwater" planets. They never intended to find anything as large or as powerful as a sandworm.[/hide]

By the way, here's the European cover. http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0340823313.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Is that Erasmus on the front?

[Colonel_Worf]

I imagine so. I don't really like the European cover. It doesn't leave much to the imagination.

[Vanguard3000]

Acriku: I assume so, although I always pictured his face as being a flat, elliptical mirror that would "grow" facial expressions. The cymeks or whatever are pretty funny looking, too.

[Colonel_Worf]

And their size is all wrong. They should be a lot bigger than that... and I really don't think Erasmus is that goofy looking. :P

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I also thought that it was Erasmus. but how do the other cover look, can anyone give me a link to a picture of it?

I live in Holland, and my local library doesn't have BJ wiht that cover. It had a more dark cover, a quite empty (but nice) one with an Arrakis landscape on it.

Here it is:

[Emperor Harkonnen]

cool. so how many different covers are there?

[Timenn]

That was the one for the Dutch translated version of House Harkonnen.

I have the one with the Cymeks and the one in front is Erasmus I think. Because he is changing a face, and he talked about it in the book

I know, sorry, I forgot to post that is was indeed a prequel. But I mean that the cover from the BJ I read has the same style.

I didn't know the Dutch spelled Dune "Duin".

[Colonel_Worf]

Hmm... I'm going to try and collect a lot of foreign Dune books. I'll keep an eye out for that Dutch one.

[Timenn]

I really like the dutch covers, I would have bought them, but they were in Dutch, and I wanted the English, which are less good.

Does someone has the pictures of the current American book covers. I would like to see those.

(btw, I meant House Atreides instead of House Harkonnen, small mistake)
