Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Moi? Perish the thought! Set a question to which one doesn't know the answer? Neat idea!

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
I presume it's me then... OK, 1960s Hugo nominee SF novel with fantasy overtones (or fantasy novel with SF overtones) in which the hero sets out on a quest for the Egg of the Phoenix. Title and author, please.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Lets try this.
A crew and colonists land on a planet of hostile indigenous races. the crew ( over time) develop technology to transfer the soul to a new body. they set themselves up as gods to the many generations of colonists who they keep at a medieval technology level.
book title and author please.
