Blastermind: Book Quiz - Now With Answers

Can you name the classic book from a snippet of its cover art? Now with highlightable answers

It’s a simple task this week. Below are 16 snippets of cover art from 16 classic SF and fantasy books. Bet you can guess what you have to do next? No, not spot the ball (though you can if you want). You have to identify the books. Some are old, some are new, some are borrowed, but there’s no Robert Heinlein so you’re safe on the blue front.

And finally, we have some answers for you. Sorry they’re late – the Summer Of SF Reading launch party on Monday night had an impact (or rather the alcohol consumed there did). As usual, you can still play along, but now you can highlight the answers which are hidden in the spaces under the book covers.
