Oolite Bulletins

A bit too cryptic - another clue perhaps?

ok...thought it might be.... it hard to give a clue without just giving it away...hahaha...

the clue isnt the title of the book. it is the title of one of the characters. this group of characters are sent to investigate something newly discovered.

that should be a dead give away.... so i will want the name/title from the first clue as well...

Ah, I did wonder, just didn't work out how the character was a book! I actually spent ages trying to find out if there was a Nessus novel
Ringworld (Larry Niven.)

correct book and author.... but now that i think of it was he the Hindmost in this book or was in Ringworld Engineers?

either way the snakeskin boots cody made are all yours.( they were a bit big for me, i have a small foot)

I think it was 'Engineers' - he was sent to the Ringworld first time round because he was the maddest puppeteer from what I remember.
As for the boots, thanks, except us Cucurbitans don't have feet but I'm sure theyll keep my roots nice and warm.
Back later with another question.

Time for another picture clue.

(Not quite) this pair went on a mission to a faraway place. Name the place and the Novel.

Mote Prime - The Mote in God's Eye?

Blimey, that was quick!
Indeed it is, the MacArthur and Lenin were the two ships sent there.
Fishy boots etc are in the post...

<grins> I knew the answer the moment I saw the pics - one of my favourite novels.
As for quick, my record is within a minute! Back later with the next question.

My brain's not in gear, so it'll have to be an easy one (it's a novel): the Earth has been ravaged by venomous, carnivorous plants (which may be alien). Small groups of humanity struggle to survive, in the hope of reclaiming the planet.

The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham.

<chortles> No, not quite!

The Night of the Triffids then?

<lobs snakeskin boots over> Aye, a rather good sequel - over to you sir!

thought that was too easy for you..lol
