The pages were very yellowed, almost brown...

@Randal'Thor - I just finished book 12 last night. I have to say, while the characters are the same (Sanderson has kept very true to their nature, IMHO), I like Sanderson's writing better than Jordan's. And nothing I can point to and say "THIS IS IT", but rather just overall I like his writing style better. I really liked the ending of B12. It was a "grand finale" like what book endings should be (something Frank Herbert in the Dune series really didn't have a clue).

Q: Analog story - US provides food machines to other nations, with hidden feature

AndrewThis 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...

Q: Does the Terran Empire come back? When?

MatthewSo... 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...

Q: Children's book about intelligent bears or maybe cats

Yellow YetiI 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...

@Slartibartfast I never know how to vote on these in memoriam meta questions. If I upvote, does that mean I'm happy that he died? I don't want to give that impression.
