Title: Lords of Atlantis
Author: Wallace West
Cover artist: Uncredited
Yours for: $10
- To judge by this cover, Lords of Atlantis were a short-lived New Wave band who died of ennui.
- "The camera's over here guys ... guys? ... aw fuck it, just take the shot."
- You can tell the dude with the '60s iPod / '80s cell phone attached to the back of his space helmet wrote all their music and is just biding his time until he can go solo / write the score for "Inception 5: The Receptioning."
Best things about this back cover:
- More like "Snores of Atlantis"—this story would be a lot more interesting if Jeannie were in that bottle.

"There's a screen in the Bab El engine room," she exclaimed as she manipulated the visor dials. "I must try to tell Refo that I do forgive him. I'll never sleep again if I don't.""They say this cat Refo is a bad mother... / SHUT YOUR MOUTH! / I'm talkin' 'bout Refo! / NO SERIOUSLY SHUT YOUR MOUTH THAT GUY'S AN IDIOT!"

The apparent sadness of this book is exceeded only by the sadness that no one deemed it fit to comment upon. So here I am stepping into the breach: The red-headedness of the people aside, this cover doesn't deserve the tag 'redhead'. 'Redhead' means something important. This book is unimportant.
Even the front-cover blurb is half-asleep: ellipsis and a full-stop, not dashes and an exclamation point! Just can't really be bothered, apparently. Zzzzz...
