As a volume of speculative evolution from the artist of Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials, originally published in 1990, Expedition has few peers, even 30 years later. This is a seminal work of fiction, nevertheless. I don't think it's any exaggeration to say most artists who dabble in speculative evolution are aware of this book and what it has meant.
never liked how the Klingon attack cruiser thing looked. Screams dykstra but in an ugly way. It really looks like it belongs to the old Buck Rogers' Draconian Empire.
I love the phrase "Dank Ferrik" from Mandalorian... It sounds like the name of a gas station attendant with super powers. and conjurs the mental image of wet ferrets...
