I’m not sure how the Robinson family ended up at Latitude Zero.

The control panel on that space boat looks really weird.

I want bats with frickin lasers

All I can think is…’Is this Brontitall? And where is Arthur Dent?’

Looks like someone will be able to collect on the General Products guarantee…

Is that laser going through the bubble and damaging something on the other side?

Upvote for the “Known Space” reference! One can discuss Niven’s writing foibles until the cows come home, but I would be OK spending the rest of my days in that universe.

The bat-people remind me of the Diamedians as portrayed in one cover from Poul Anderson’s ‘War of the Wing-men’ aka ‘The Man Who Counts’.

My Lord someone else read that book! I love Anderson’s writing, and I wish SF had more heroic characters like that old rogue Van Rijn.

For some reason this is my favorite Lost in Space cover so far.

Lol, Anderson is my favorite SF writer. Picked up the whole Van Rijn/Flandry series from Baen a couple years ago and read all the stories in order. They’re definitely worth the investment. Always loved Van Rijn too, always thought if someone did a movie version John Rhys-Davies would be perfect!
Eric Hinkle

Rhys-Davies as Van Rijn? That would work perfectly.
