The plot is about a noble lady and her piano teacher who she started to like, but her family became ruined because the father invested poorly, so he killed himself and left the daughter alone. The daughter had to wor...

I'm seeking a book I would have read about 20 years ago. It's set within a totalitarian society that survived a world-changing event that was either war or a catastrophe. There are walls enclosing the city. A girl goes to school and is encouraged to write her paper on her hero. Her hero is a man ...

Who wrote the short story "Of Jovian Build"? I think it is in The Treasury of Science Fiction book.

one of key bits of technology within tar trek is the all important warpcore.

I’m trying to find a book from my childhood. I was born in 1993 and the book was already quite old, so maybe it was released in the 1980's, perhaps late 70's The paper was newspaper consistency and had comic style black and white, cartoony illustrations. The pages were very yellowed, almost brown...

I'm looking for a fantasy TV show, that I saw some episodes of, when I was younger. It was a live action show which featured teenagers(?) in a fantasy world.

I remember seeing part of a sci-fi movie or episode of a series 15-20 years ago. What i remember is an airliner like spaceplane being stuck in earth orbit. There was an rescue attempt with an Spaceshuttle connected to the Spaceplane by an flexible tunnel to transfer the passengers.

This is a near present day story for the time of publication - late 1990s/early 2000s, I think.

The protagonist learns that the food is adulterated wi...

So... I haven't watched (most of) DS9. Apparently at some point (according to some things I've read here), the Terran Empire is overthrown and replaced by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance (in 2295?). I believe this information is revealed in ~2370? Now, Star Trek Online is not exactly canon, howev...

I read this as a child, as a library book, so this would have been mid-late 1970s - the book could be older of course. The setting was a post-human earth, where a society of intelligent bears (?) lived. The protagonist, goes into a forbidden area, obvious to the reader as a ruined human city, whe...

The song "Bicycle Race" by Queen has the following lyrics; You say black, I say white You say bark, I say bite You say shark, I say hey man Jaws was never my scene And I don't like Star Wars I know not everyone has to like Star Wars, but is this true, or just fit rhythmically for the song? Has ...
