Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I think so :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 [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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Is that Erasmus on the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I imagine so. I don't really like the European cover. It doesn't leave much to the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 cool. so how many different covers are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is changing a face, and he talked about it in the bookI 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.

Inoculator9 Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 I didn't know the Dutch spelled Dune "Duin". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hmm... I'm going to try and collect a lot of foreign Dune books. I'll keep an eye out for that Dutch one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
