"There are worlds out there where the skies are burning; where the seas sleep and the rivers dream. There are people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there is danger, somewhere there is injustice. Somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on Ace, we've got work to do."

Dr Who and the Great Old Ones
This has to be the best ever Target novel cover art. I remember seeing this paperback in a shop when I was nine years old. I was quite disturbed by it and decided I definitely didn't want to read that novel.
It is such a shame that this does not actually depict a scene in Spearhead from Space. The idea of some colossal eldritch space monstrosity threatening the Earth is so much cooler than anything in that serial. It reminds me a little bit of the Fendahl Predator in the 8th Doctor novel The Taking of Planet 5.
