It was a series of books about an alien race. They were very adept at martial arts, training their kids at an early age, and they would hire their services out to people they deemed worthy.
The main character and his best friend, a girl, discover something about a prospective client and wind up g...
This is a story I would have read in the '90s, I think.
The beginning involves a bunch of aliens landing on Earth back in the Knights on Horseback era. They wave their ray guns around, intending to cow the lowly natives, but the lowly natives are a bunch of knights on horseback, who promptly ride...
The cartoon series Peanuts is fiction and the 1959 strip I'm looking for is related to science, so I'm hoping this is sufficiently on-topic to stay open at least long enough to receive an answer. In Mathematician, Engineer and Geoscientist Irene Fischer's book Geodesy? What's That?: My Personal I...
I suddenly remembered the creepy cover of a book I saw in a children's/young adult bookstore as a kid around the year 2000.
It looked too scary so I didn't buy it.
Here is all I remember:
The cover had three or so hideous fish-like or frog-like people in a swamp.
The blurb on the back described a...
In Dark we've seen Elisabeth as Charlotte's daughter and as the story grows we've seen Charlotte as Elisabeth's daughter
but from different time in the same world. Charlotte has been stolen
from the future where Elizabeth was her mother and she bring her into
the past before the apocalypse and a...
Many years ago (late '60s to '70s), I read a story about a boy with a group of hikers in a ridge who get caught in a lightning storm. They all run off the ridge, and, apparently, the boy went down the wrong side, and he got lost.
The boy ended up needing to survive on his own. He used a paperclip...
I read this in an anthology in UK at least forty years ago.
An alien soldier is almost complete in his training and needs to have his final test, this is done by him taking over the body of an Earth soldier during combat. Then he'll be deemed fit to fight his Emperor's enemies.
On Earth a young A...
Many years ago I read a story - it may have been a novel, or a short story in a compilation - that included travel of the principal characters to an alternate universe, where many species of animals had been elevated (possibly by genetic manipulation?) to sentience, and were members of the altern...
The Room of Requirement is based on the user, but it's completely reasonable for it to become:
Soundproof
Reinforced (or just made of stone like the rest of the castle)
Inescapable for a transformed werewolf- this doesn't need anything magic or technological- a couple of deadbolts would do it (e...
How does Dodge levitate in the Locke & Key comics?
At the point when he does this, he doesn't have any keys yet.
Is this an ability he has because he is an echo? Or because he's possessed by a demon?
At the beginning the villain is lured to a meeting where an attempt is made on his life. Another character fired a projectile out of a cane which wounded him but he was able to magic up a shield or something to avoid death.
As shown in this GIF, when Ash's Metapod evolves into Butterfree, Butterfree emerges from within Metapod, leaving a husk behind.
What happened to Metapod's body/residue? What did Ash do with it? Bury it?
In Tolkien’s Middle-earth; was Rhun based primarily on Asia? I think there are Bilbo references to this in The Hobbit, but I do not know certainly. Does anybody know the answer of this topic?
In Cornucopia Again, Chapter 64 of The Ickabog,
This is proved by
Cornucopia Again, Chapter 64
This seems very strange, since as far as I can tell, he lacked mens rea - the intention to do any of it at all. I think his only culpability would be due to negligence, which Spittleworth and Flapoon ...

I know it seems like an odd question, considering the original Rangers' master, Zordon of El'tar, was seen as the originator of the Power Ranger legacy.... heck "zord" is even in his name, and that suffice exist on every iteration of the Rangers' fighting machines to this day.
