I read this story at least 30 years ago, probably in a collection. Either a short story or maybe a novelette. It is a bit fuzzy in my memory. IIRC, a woman lived alone in a spaceship. The ship had powerful weapons and so she controlled an asteroid which was very valuable, something like an astero...

While watching The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which is set in France, I noticed an interesting contrast in the weapons used by different survivor groups. Most survivor groups who use firearms, including those Daryl joins (i.e., the "good guys"), rely on manual-action firearms (lever-action, bolt-...

I am trying to find the name of a short story I read over 40 years ago, I thought it was written by either Asimov or Herbert but a search hasnt identified it. The premise is that there is an alien consciousness (I think called the Tegan) that jumps from human host to human host with a second cons...

The characters find themselves sealed in on three sides of the village by mysterious forcefields that burn an...

Saw this, or part of it, when I was a kid. I mostly remember the guy riding his motorcycle/dirtbike across vast expanses of barren land in a dreary, possibly foggy landscape.

The plot concerns the aliens' attempts to locate Earth in order to destroy it. Failing that, they destroy the titular ship and themselves. Th...

Although being competitors, Marvel and DC have published the occasional crossover (In addition to seeing two 'Batman meets Punisher' works I have also heard of a work where Superman fought the Hulk). However, each company has their own version of the 'undersea prince of Atlantis' (specifically Ma...

I remember that there was this TV show I used to watch that had a kid in it. I think in the first episode the kid with his two other friends had found this sciencey place. One of the friends was a black girl while the other was chubby. The science place I think had an orange z logo. The first epi...
