The Cats of Tau Ceti - A Meeting of Minds

Brenda · Jun 28 2008, 11:45 PM

I was browsing through Ursula Vernon's website, and in her "Older Work" section I found a picture that looks rather familiar!

The Cats of Tau Ceti

I have emailed her to see if there's any story behind that. Thought you'd like to see it - it's another look at a feline-type humanoid.

That's some lovely art. I was going to say it reminded me of some of the covers from Lisanne Norman's Sholan Alliance novels, but I don't want to hijack this thread.

Well, we could always just convert the thread into one about artwork that reminds us of Hrrubans...

Post your cover art, I don't mind!

LOl, good point, Brenda.

Here's Turning Point, which bears the strongest resemblance though the later books are closer to Norman's image of Kusac, as she's said herself.

How true on that. When I get a find out how uplink my images I have one that rememds me of a few cat like story I read over the year.

Star Trek: The Orginial Series #21 Uhura's Song. One of I like but not here at home! Thanks for the link.

Ginny, there's a quick cheat. Just right-click on the image you want, then select Copy. Then when you write up a message, paste it right in. It'll be small, like the cover I included in my last post, but it's fast.

Right now I don't have that book at my place.

But if you look at Pets Tread you find it.
