So all I remember is it having human-sized alien/bugs with guns. The bugs had some sort of, like, antennas in their mouths; they looked like whiskers, but but they had just two each. Basically, they were taking over (if not already taken over) the majority of the population. I remember the movie ...

As far as I know gas giants have no metals. How did the Dwellers get into space in the first place? Are they capable of being in the vacuum of space without ships? I don't remember Banks talking about that. It seems like a bit if a chicken and egg problem as to how they could have gotten metals a...

From what I can remember, the MC is some sort of young noble who was frowned upon by people around him, due to how skittish and incompetent he was in magic. He also had a fiance that looked down on him and abused him (IIRC in later chapters, her reasons was to keep him for herself due to jealousy...

BACKGROUND: On many pre-industrial human societies, agriculture, transportation and industry were based on nonhuman animal (referred as "nonhuman" thereafter) exploitation, and more than a few on human exploitation, through the trade of human slaves. Fortunately, such human and non human animal (...

I wanted to ask something does anyone know a series like (the live) where the main character's wife and daughter is murdered and the murderer disappears from the map for having gone to another world? I don't remember the name but I know some things. Everyone of the mc world ends up forgetting ev...

I read a translation of this short story around 2000 but no idea how old the original could have been. The plot follows someone entering a euthanasia machine and being talked through the process by an AI persona that runs the machine. There was a step of confirming that they are voluntarily choos...

Assume Conan and any individual immortal representative of the MacLeod clan meet in an empty arena armed with their usual weapon and equipped with their usual things. They have to fight to the death, no holds barred. Conan is aware that he must behead immortals to kill them. Who would win?

No idea when this was made, but the room (and the house) are all electronic. The "Nursery" is primarily africa. The parents (main characters), try to change it from africa. The parents also hear screaming in the night. The children: Wendy and Peter keep it set to africa, but quickly change it. So...

We know that the the Adeptus Custodes are the personal bodyguards of The Emperor and they existed alongside the Thunder Warriors before the Adeptus Astartes were created. Space Marines are created by implanting adolescent boys with special organs and cybernetics. However my understanding is that ...

In the second installment of Remembrance of Earth's Past (AKA the 3 body problem) - the Dark Forest - one of the scientific advances is a fission driven spacecraft. That is that a "non-chemical propulsion" spacecraft is created, in fact capable of reaching 15% of the speed of light, and that obse...

The question How is fission drive possible? was closed for being about real-world science, because it seemed to ask about how fission drives worked in general. Would it become answerable if it were formulated to ask what, if anything, the text of the work said about how the fission drives in the ...

In the 5th episode of the 2022 Moon Knight TV show, purple streaks of light in the sky of the Egyptian afterlife show that Harrow and his followers are sending souls back earlier than their time. It seems like quite a few to me, and it's suggested that it's still happening during the time the pro...

This is a paperback novel that I read in the 00s, but I am fairly certain that it was published earlier (probably circa 1970s). I believe that it was part of a series (the middle book of a trilogy?), but I think the series was composed of stories in the same universe, as opposed to stories about ...

Student cadet recruited to secret agency. Has to be expelled to go undercover. Turns out his father who he believed dead is the boss of the agency. I thought this was by Heinlein but can't find it.

He helps them fight the empire/church that's trying to kill them all. At one point they explain that they are scantily clad so t...

Someone, anyone, please vote anything on this so I can point something out on an 8 year old Harry Potter post comment section which I can’t believe nobody has questioned, thanks! :)
