Just look at that cover. For Tom's debut, they went so far as to try and incorporate his head into the logo. That didn't work, so now they just let it completely dominate the whole cover instead, pushing everything else to the periphery. The Zygon even appears to be staggering backwards and shielding itself from the vibrant pulses of light emanating from Tom's beatific bonce. He must have gone down well on the telly.
And is it just me, or is that a really unnecessarily faithful reproduction of the Skarasen? I really like it but it's very much not the approach they're going to take with Doctor Who and the Dinosaur Invasion, so I wonder why they did it here. It may just be that there aren't any handy reference photos of the Loch Ness monster...
The back cover raises just as many questions with its query whether the Doctor, Sarah and Harry 'can [...] outwit the supreme cunning of the ruthless ZYGONS?'
(tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_and_the_Loch_Ness_Monster_(novelisation)). Is someone having a laugh? If not, then no one involved has read this or watched the thing it's based on. They're a bunch of idiots.
