I've voted for the stylish Atom Bomb Blues. Although it looks like the girl on the cover has sneezed a nuke, it's still pretty cool.

Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I voted for Divided Loyalties, btw. None of them are stand out great, but this is the better of the three. Business Unusual is definitely the worst of them.

Wasn't Business Unusual the first Colin book? Back when it was OK to just have the Doctor and some swirly bits on the cover.

I've voted for Divided Loyalties, it's very magical, and technically better than the other two (never liked those cheap swirl covers Black Sheep used to make).
(and if anyone's wondering, I tidied the thread up )

Divided Loyalties is the best of the bunch but none of then are as good as the old Target covers.

Couldn't agree more. The Target Novelisation covers have a nostalgia element to them that the NA's, MA's, PDA's and EDA's will never have for me. The artwork may sometimes be better here and there, but I prefer the old covers.
When the BBC website released the e-books with Target style covers, I loved them.

Business Unusual was the first BBC range Who book I bought, but that sense of nostalgia (crikey, it was just over 9 years ago!) doesn't detract from what is a tremendously dull cover. Atom Bomb Blues is nice, but my vote goes to Divided Loyalties, which is a very good cover indeed - the little cut-out heads of Hartnell and Davison aren't seamless, but it's still imaginative, and the negative-Toymaker really jumps out at you.
Mind you, never judge a book by its cover and all that - the actual story is utter drivel.

I really enjoyed reading Divided Loyalties. Well, actually that's not quite true. I enjoyed the parts of Gallifrey where the Doctor is with the Deca. It goes against what I said about losing the mystery of the Doctor being a bad thing, but then I don't consider the BBC Book range to be canon.

Divided Loyalties for me, which looks like it's going to run away with this one! Never realised there were two Doctor's faces on the cover though - just had a closer look to check! Are both of them in the story then?

Yes, the Fifth Doctor and scenes while the Doctor is still in the Academy on Gallifrey, alongside a host of others including those who are named as The Monk, The Master, The War Chief, Drax and the Rani at the end of the book.

I chose Divided Loyalties. Light coloured covers were rare with the BBC Books and they all seemed to be of a higher standard than the darker ones! I like it, it's a good image.
Atom Bomb Blues is ok, nice and colourful and quite a decent image, and Divided Loyalties sufferes fro the generic swirlyness of the first few BBC PDAs.
