Okay, an easy one: name the song, name a popular method of space travel.

"Sail Away" on a Solar Sail.

Overdrive - Over D (500 in Latin numerals) Rive (split)

Except that's 9 letters, not 10!

You got the Latin - now you need a bit of Greek!

Hyperdrive?

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.

Robert Anson Heinlein Glory Road.

no google read it last month.... working my way through Heinlein alphabetically on my Ebook reader....

Absofragginglutely - well done, especially since most searches on Egg of the Phoenix come up with RPG modules, Harry Potter fanfic, etc.

I had this cover illustration



My mother was not amused...

Your turn!

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.
