there is also a notable cover art version of "Four-Day Planet" done by Michael Whelan, created in 1978, for an edition that includes "Four Day Planet and Lone Star Planet"
So many other artists' paperback covers bear little resemblance to the events of the story. But you captured the setting and action and drama of this one perfectly! One of my all-time favorites!
I have never seen this artwork before. Great and compelling work. In fact I have never even seen this book before. Something to hunt for on Abe and Biblio!!

Have you posted about this yet?
The inside a cockpit (or gunner's turret) one? Yeah, that's a beaut.
Yes. You’ll find it here.

Thank you! 🙏
One of my favorite covers! The head shot was, IIRC, a rarity in SF cover art. Piper is still one of my favorite authors.
Same. Space Viking is one of my favorites. Along with Michael’s covers.
