The pins look worn off, it might not boot. YMMV

Hey, one of my favorite authors when I was a kid!

I don't remember reading that one ... now I'll have to look for it.  8)

Gotta love that 1970s-looking cover art.

I love the composition of this photo.

Perfect*.

:)

Also, I want to read that damn novel now.

I never heard of the author before.

Also, I have never seen such a fearsome-yet-lame cat on a cover before.



* I would use three oranges** next time, they provide a much nicer contrast than the apples. Still, fruit of any kind earns you extra points.





** Or orangutans.

Wow, I have actually got it, now I'll have to read it again!  :dance:

Great find Nulltard! She's one of the great writers from the classic sci-fi era.

And she really loved her cats ...

Wait a second...is the silly 80's film Beastmaster based in part on Norton's Lord of Thunder (Beast Master series)?

Ha!

Amazing.

So THAT's why I don't remember it!  #-o

I must have got it in a 2nd-hand shop and put-off reading it until I got Beast Master, which I have still never actually purchased.

Definitely a great author for pre-teens ... but they soon look for something a bit more complex.

I think Cosmic Fantasy 2 is worse.

Nice use of clickbait title.

Also would have accepted "I got Lords of Thunder for under $5. Collectards hate me because of this one trick..."

That's not the manual, it's the novelization included with the ultra raer boxed version of Lords of Thunder (ghostwritten by Johnny Turbo).

I love Dr. Thunder. In fact, I love off-brands and their silly names. Harris Teeter has a Fruity Pebbles knock-off called Fruit Rocks. It's just as tasty and geologically labeled as Fred Flintstone's cereal.

Awesome score on the Lord of Thunder! I assume the soundtrack is in musical notations at the bottom of each page.

Dr. Thunder sounds like a liquid laxative.
