Devonian declaimer

Or maybe more accurately, the Pleistocene Proclaimer.

Is he wearing a sabretooth cat skull on his head?

The saber tithe tooger is jealous of the bigger tusks on the mooly wammoths.

I am somewhat amused by the way the name of the series just dwarfs the name of this particular book. The author was apparently really confident this would sell well enough that there would be sequels.

Permit me to doubt the declaimer's ability to tame a sabertooth. Especially when he's wearing its relative's skull as a hat. And would the mammoths be so chill with an approaching storm, plus a big cat and a guy right there?

Also, when there's lightning, isn't it a bad idea to stand on the highest part of the plain, holding up your hand even higher?

Maybe it's good these lands were lost.

🎵He would walk 500 miles...🎵

>5 bam2001: I see it was a trilogy.

As the publisher decides on fonts, I guess Bantam had signed Rose to a three-book contract and knew there were going to be more. Maybe she'd written them all before?

Most of her books are CYOA types. It's a living, I guess.

Of the three animal species portrayed on this cover, the tiger seems to be to be the LEAST likely to bleed.

Surely it is The Prophet of Skull-hat But Not Much Other Clothing as the far away front-runner position for lacerations, followed by one of the mooly wammoths, and then last of all the tiger.

>8 EndofDiskOne: At least four, as I see some sort of ungulate out there. I don't see the mammoths bleeding; nothing likes to mess with an elephant in the real world. Especially not when there's a tasty ape right there.

But that font! Is that supposed to bone, or stone? Did the typographer get done making a sign for a hair metal band, and figure the same font but in bone was going to work here?

Ben Franklin had no idea that his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather tried the same stupid experiment before kites had even been invented.

Blood of the tiger, hmm. Maybe the tiger is his dad?

"Stop striking poses and pay attention! I'm trying to teach you how to hunt here!"

Did sabertooths and widdle bitty proto-horses overlap in range/time? And if they did, WTF is such an extremely white boy doing in the Americas at that time?

(Somehow my wiki-trawl led me to "The West Wing" s "Big Block of Cheese Day" which was a delightful memory.)

>8 EndofDiskOne: Absolutely correct on the issue of lacerations. Mr. Skull-Hat should remember not to nod "yes" if someone asks him a yes-or-no question, and probably shouldn't shake his head "no" either.
