Would it be The Adventures of Don Quick , a British SF sitcom from 1970? I'm not sure because the name of the ship isn't mentioned in the Wikipedia article, and I think I only saw one or two episodes at the time and my memory isn't that good, but it's based on Don Quixote so seems a possible conten...

not sure where this is going but...

Joseph Conrad wrote a book "Nostromo" which is the name of the ship in Alien. But where Cervantes and Don Quixote fits in i have no idea.

beaten by 6 minutes... missed the Rocinante connection...bugger.

the Welsh clue made me think of Dr Who as well but no idea what the item would be..

spot on. in both your answer and your opinion...lol

Le calice du poison est maintenant en votre possession

getting warmer. its amazing how warm you are...lol

Unfortunately no my friend.. nice try but it is not Harry Harrison.

ok here is your clue...

The Starship Pleiades could travel instantaneously to literally anywhere in the universe – but that was just the trouble with it. For there was absolutely no way of predicting where in the infinities of space it would reappear.

Author and Title please.

forgive an old mans patchy memory..

ok for Enders game common term is Buggers and species is Formic.

still no idea of the troopers names i read too much last night , got to bed around 2 am..lol

not sure that i remember them being called anything but "BUGS" in troopers but just flicking through the book i find the home planet name of KLENDATHU so i assume that is the name of the bugs too? i have read enders game and the 7 more after that but cant remember that species name either....

thought alien might be pushing it... starship troopers was an immediate thought..lol
now to find the other half of the answer.....

starship troopers and alien ??

well done commander_X

it is indeed The Andromeda strain

the chalice of doom is all yours...

the book was made into a movie.....

nice try.

it is about space and science but the author is not known as a sci fi writer......

this should be quick...keeping it old school.
