Re: Science Fiction Trivia

Is the answer a 'Denizen' ?

From - "Grafenwalder's Bestiary" - and - "A Spy In Europa" by Alasdair Reynolds ?

Silver faced character with a homburg is Dr Trintignant in his Palanquin ??

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

Yeah, a good tale - I found that Baen page a while ago and read it right through. Onward: a hard-bitten outlaw and smuggler rescues a young girl from a lynch-mob on Mars. Author and title of this short story, please. I really wanted this to be "Great Wall of Mars" by Alastair Reynolds.......

Re: Pronounceable Planets Project

All this talk of 'New whatever' got me thinking of New Cassle.....

But maybe I should shunt this to the Constore thread for someone to make an advert for Noocastle Broon Ale - Puts hairs on your eyes...... !
