    I went for Palace of the Red Sun, very atmospheric. Deep Blue is good as well.

    Illegal Alien is possibly the worst PDA cover ever.

    This was a tough choice between Deep Blue and Palace of the Red Sun. The latter's cover, with the sun setting behind the palace is wonderfully done, and I like the silhouetted figures walking towards it. The former has a great night time look looking onto the pier and I like the see coming up the beach just behind the Doctor.

    In the end, I went for Deep Blue as it has a Doctor Who theme to it, missing from Palace.

    voted for Palace of the Red Sun - I just the use of the oranges,red and yellow colours that makes it a very stand out and eye catching cover..

    Palace of the Red Sun is all very nice & pretty, but I like to have something Who-y on the front; of the other two I actually prefer Illegal Alien - it's one of the early, rather uninspired 'two pics & a swirl' covers, but I just think it's better composed than Deep Blue, which rather bizarrely has no point of focus in the middle of the image. Plus the cut-out Davison is a bit too obviously cut-out, being a photo against an artwork background.

    Plus the combination of McCoy's Doc with a Wheel Cyberman thrills my inner fanboy!

    Now there's an image to reckon with!

    I've never seen it full-size (steady!) but the 'Palace' cover looks gorgeous, and it just edges out 'Deep Blue'.

    If it had been better designed, though, I probably would have gone for 'Illegal Alien' too. However, my inner fanboy is disappointed.

    Palace is the best of an uninspiring round.
