[FireSnake]

It's clear as water - it is supposed to represent a giant metal egg with an egg-like depression in the centre of it ...

... ::)

Okay, I don't have the foggiest. :-

I'd like to know myself.

Maybe some spaceship?? ???

[Alexander_Ordos]

LOL guys the cover of which edition do you mean :)?? In one from New English library it shows the dessert observation station on Chapterhouse...

[FireSnake]

We meant the cover version as an attachment in the first post. ;)

I always thought it was the no-ship. I could be mistaken, though.

[Colonel_Worf]

It's the Death Star.

[Inoculator9]

It is the no-ship.

[FireSnake]

It's the Death Star.

LOL!

Its Letto II duh!

And cant you just put matthew in your sig?

[Inoculator9]

If you're serious: Leto II is dead.

If you're not: Good one ;)

[Digital Guerrilla]

That is what I thought it was a no-ship that just looked like the Death Star.

I agree I believe it's a No-Ship

[Zopwx2]

wow a noship visable to the naked eye. I like the art i just didnt know it was relevant.

LoL, in Finland there is not even Finnish version of that book! :'(

The last Finnished Dune book in here is that, where Baron dies. :'( ... I have to find some Finnish Dune nerds and buy the books (I don't think, that they sell English books in shops) ... I have to get lot of money and fast! :P

[FireSnake]

I saw quite many Dune books in Helsinki, Jack Leaf. You know - that shop next to Stockman... Uh... "Suomalainen Kirjakauppa". They were English as I recall. Now, if You'll excuse me I'll go and pount my head into the wall for not buying those books when I had the chance. :P

[Jack Leaf]

Oh.. "Suomalainen Kirjakauppa", allmost forgot that :- Last time I visited it, there was no Dune books avaible! ???

Oh, you are from "Eesti" ;D

[Inoculator9]

It's simply meant as a representation of Duncan's "prison." It's not supposed to be 100% accurate to the books. To respond to the "wow a no-ship visible to the naked eye" thingy.

No-ship...

[bilde88]

How could a big block of stone lift off into space. And besides, I dont think the dessert actually reached the no-ship during that book. Might be wrong though...

[NeoDevilbane]

It's the Chapterhouse. :) Shit, I don't know what it was supposed to be.

I always thought it was the Chapterhouse building, and not a noship as it is too large for a noship.

[Vanguard3000]

I don't think it would be the Chapterhouse building for a few reasons:

-The Chapterhouse was pretty much a town or complex. Remember the orchards and gardens? There were tons of people who took care of those, as well as performing other tasks, such as Clairby. That's not even including the Acolytes and Reverend Mothers.

-Note the round edges at the bottom. That would be a bit impractical, no?

Also, keep in mind that the cover is not made by Mr. Herbert. The artist could simply have exaggerated the size to show the fantastic nature of the book. Same goes for those megaliths in the foreground.
