Hello. Does anybody know anything about following two books?: 1. The protagonist is some man, pacifist and music composer. Then one day he discovers that Earth is visited by some alien team (from diffrenet species, I remember cat like species, seal like species and crayfish like species). The...

As I recall, this book involved a man that was stuck on a silicon world. He helped intelligent photosynthetic silicon creatures by giving them batteries (they could operate at night). In turn, they helped him survive a major injury by repairing his stomach. Making any sense? Know the...

....on a heavily forested and somewhat hostile world. The survivors adapt to life high in the treetops, evolve over many many years and eventually another ship arrives and/or crashes..... Hopefully a fairly accurate summary based on my hazy recollections of a novel read in the mid 80's...

We have 4 out of the 6 so haven't tried reading them yet. Anyone read them? Are they traditional high fantasy or something more interesting?

so the basic plot for the series is that a bunch of alien species allied together, called W.E.A.V.E., are fighting against another bunch of allied alien species. the enemies have the ability to control the mind of any other alien species except humans. they grow their babies on their backs...

Hi can anyone help me with a problem I have been trying to think of a book I read when I was at school which was late 80`s to early 90`s . I think it is called SpellBound or something like that . I only remember vague things about it and just remember it was quite a good fantasy where a...

Both of them are science fiction/fantasy novels. Both span more than one book. The first one: A pair of evil twins, a guy and a girl rule over the land. They have the ability to create voids or some type of black nexus tornado which can destroy things. The hero of the story, when he is...

I see you get alot of these and most of them get the answer they want so I'm hoping for the best. The book I am looking for is a Sci-Fi novel about an alien federation type organization that promotes pacifism above all else keeping humans from exploring the galaxy because they are too...

Well, I stumbled upon Alan Dean Foster's website and discovered two really cool things: he seems to be a neat guy who loves to travel and discover other cultures, and that there are two follow-up books to the Spellsinger series! He has a great website too: http://www.alandeanfoster.com

Rescued from the secondhand book shop, it is another, "The story is all ready. Now write it." I don't know why authors choose to try and write books from TV and film scripts, it must stiffle the imagination terribly and Alan Foster has written more than his share, over ten for Star Trek and...
