    Devil Goblins From Neptune has another of the dull swrily effects, while Bullet Time is good but not great.

    Heritage has a Sarlaac Pit from Star Wars thing going on there, and the whole thing looks a little surreal, but in a good way. This one gets my vote.

    'Bullet Time' is quite eye-catching, although there seemed to be a few covers at the time, depicting some city or other, that they all blended into one for me. 'Devil Goblins...' has an awful cover, although I did rather enjoy the book.

    My vote goes to 'Heritage', the most intriguing of the three here.

    Heritage is interesting.
    Bullet Time is just another futuristic landscape.
    Devil Goblins looks like something a ten year old made in Photoshop.

    Heritage wins.

    Heritage is just great. It's a really striking and intriguing image. Full marks from me!

    Oh this is tricky. Devil Goblins is rather uninspired (and way too purple); Bullet Time fits the story, as it features Hong Kong and a bullet, but is nevertheless a tremendously dull cover. But, arguably clever though it is, I don't really like the cover to Heritage. I'm not sure why, but it just gives me a rather 'smug' vibe, as if they made a deliberately weird cover...

    Sod it, I'm going for Devil Goblins, as it does at least feature the Doctor on the cover. Too many of the PDAs didn't, which I always thought was a mistake.

    Are we trning int Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Curnow? Way too purple indeed!

    Not the most inspired of covers in the sense that they tell you precious little about the content. Devil Goblins and Heritageare also rather bland, so Bullet Time it is.

    It's not like I said the cover was too wide...

    This one seems a little bit closer now. Hertiage's 4 vote lead could easily be overtaken.

    I don't read these books, but Heritage gets my vote for most interesting cover.

    Heritage definitely. Its far more subtle than the others and actually makes you wonder what the hell its about.

    Heritage is the most unusual of these, it grabs your attention more than the others.
