* [[Covers Always Lie]]:
** The British covers in particular miss off the Race's chameleon-like eye turrets (something which is mentioned every third paragraph) and consistently gives them a dragon-like insignia as a symbol, when the books specifically point out that the Race have no concept of national symbols because they have been united for so long that they have no 'Other' to define themselves against.
** The Russian covers show the Race as raptors. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130109223554/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/Russiantilting.jpg See here].
*** The covers for the various books in the series were probably done by different people, as the Race looks completely different from book to book. See all four book covers: [http://lib.aldebaran.ru/author/tertldav_garri/tertldav_garri_flot_vtorzheniya/cover.jpg first]{{Dead link}}, [http://lib.aldebaran.ru/author/tertldav_garri/tertldav_garri_otvetnyi_udar/cover.jpg second]{{Dead link}}, [http://lib.aldebaran.ru/author/tertldav_garri/tertldav_garri_oko_za_oko/cover.jpg third]{{Dead link}}, and [http://lib.aldebaran.ru/author/tertldav_garri/tertldav_garri_velikii_perelom/cover.jpg fourth]{{Dead link}}.
**** Plus, the second to last one is also the cover picture of "Hell's Faire," (by John Ringo), and the last one appears to show a human at an advanced computer console, when the book in question takes place at the end of WWII.
***** It's actually not uncommon for Russian cover artists to simply "borrow" all or parts of covers from foreign books, even if they don't quite (or at all) fit the plot. After all, the cover is there just to sell the book.
