The Earth-sized moon of the giant planet swings too close occasionally, and the seas rise mountain-high...it's a hard life for the colonists when you've got such an unpredictable orbit.

Fantastic to find PE on the web. loved his illustration when i was lad,they inspired me to become an illustrator myself, albeit a struggling one with much less talent than Mr Elson! thank you for putting this up!

A marvellous tribute site. I was born in 1973, and was recently talking with friends about books we loved in our youth. Peter's name came up, and we talked about the magic of his book covers. Sadly I no longer have those books in my collection, so I was so pleased to find this site; the images take me back to that time and remind me of how real those worlds he created seemed to be! Thanks very much for this.

DR Re Vulcan's Hammer. The orignal picture used for the book cover is lost. The only scan I have is this front half, kindly sent by a fan. The only full picture I have is of the earlier, rough version.

That is about half of the painting. The other part is to the right. I love this one. Where is the rest?
