She is a travel writer but meets a man who she falls in love with. I read it years ago and remember it being really good. Think it's in the genre of romance / erotic romance

It is well know that H. P. Lovecraft wrote the story "Under the Pyramids" (also known as "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs") for the world-famous magician and escape artist Harry Houdini. Houdini narrates the story, and it was published under the magician's name. What I am wondering is simple: Was...

Hard SciFi book, with nearly 2 dimensional life (on a neutron star) that goes zipping past earth. They see our sun and that sparks their interest in space (they evolve super-fast).

So when I was a child, this would have been around 1990's and later. I watched an animated movie where there were a group of Pegasus living by a waterfall and mountainous area.

In the last book of the heroes of Olympus (Blood of Olympus). Just after Nico sends Bryce into the underworld and collapses he (nico) has a dream wherein he sees Ella the harpy saying: The fall of the sun.... Does this line hint towards the next series (the trials of Apollo) or at something else

Did James and Lily Potter Christen Harry "Harry" or "Henry"? I don't recall him ever being referred to as Henry in either the books or the movies, but (in the UK at least) it would be odd for a boy to actually be named Harry, as it's normally an informal form of Henry. Has JK Rowling said anythin...

As far as I recalled, there isn't even a part that proves these invisibility cloaks work underwater. I researched my question and tried to browse the sites given to me but the answers aren't there. It just made me curious these past few days. Harry could have used his invisibility cloak in the ...

In the movie the origin of Fenrir the giant beastly wolf is more or less unknown and Hela is depicted as Odin's daughter and Thor's Sister, however in the comics both Fenrir and Hela are children to Loki. What could have been the need to mess up the family tree of Norse Mythology in the movies? ...

Laureline said these words to Doghan Daguis after she heard an alert in section B. Actually Doghan Daguis gave some info about Mill converter to Laureline just before this alert: It appears your info just lost its value. Now get out of my face. Move, pigeons.

To open a wormhole into another galaxy a huge amount of energy is needed. ZPM to go to Atlantis for example. Nevertheless, O'Neill could reach the Asgard home planet. Afterwards the SGC never reached it. Was there ever a explanation I do not remember?

So I'm looking for a book that I read when I was a teenager (around 2009). The book is most defiantly fantasy. The book was around an inch and a half thick, with a hard cover, there was a picture on the front in color, but I don't remember exactly what it was. It would have been 25-30 hours worth...

If we think about Physics, it is a well known fact that a moving object will only have it's speed changed if another force is applied on it. This is called inertia. There are more implications about this, but I want to stay with the simplest interpretation of it. Here are some questions I've bee...

I already checked IMDB cast list, and all the voice actors for Pearls Aliens are females. Even the Emperor of the Pearls Alien speaks with a female voice. Is there any explanation behind this choice to have all female voices?

In this video the human General makes the claim that the Minbari dedicate a third of their population to war, Londo corrects him and says that they have a Warrior Caste and it's not the same thing.

Many Imperial Guard regiments hail from planets that lack just gunpowder. What I want to know is how do they react when they get sent away from their homeworld to anywhere in the galaxy. I would imagine that boarding the transport ships alone is a complete culture shock to the guys armed with j...

A while back, I read a fantasy book about a boy who ends up in another world inhabited by a people called the Sidhe (I think). He got there while visiting an old man at night, but something spooked him and he ran into the garden, where he went through a portal. He was taken in by three witches, u...

Let me rephrase the question asked below so that it is unique and not a duplicate. How do people feel about the theme in relation to the show's content and how it fits into the trek universe, taking into account the style of previous themes? So after many epic theme tunes; TOS, TNG, DS9 why did ...

Aliens attack because we are close in technology to them but instead of completely wiping us out they set up some shields around a few small groups so the Earth can rebuild while they advance further beyond us. They turn everything that is carbon-based and not shielded to ash. One story followe...
