Cover Description
A black-haired white woman is the focus of the cover. She wears a two-piece, midriff-baring yellow and green outfit and a necklance with red stones. The top is low cut and the skirt is short; she also wears calf-length fur-trimmed boots. She holds a blaster type weapon in one hand and the other is stretched out being held by the paw of a shark-like humanoid light purple alien with a sword. Also illustrated are men in loincloths fighting against more of the same type of alien, one man near the bottom of the cover seems to have a flamethrower.
