While he wasn't the author that introduced me to Sci Fi (I found that genre through TV and comics long before I read any of his work) I did find his work while I was about eleven or so, in my (now closed and relocated and only open certain days) local library and quickly made my way through the...

I've been searching for a young adult book series for a while and have about given up hope that it exists. The first book starts when the protagonist whose name escapes me but I can tell you for sure that he's from the Scottish highlands wakes up in a spaceship. They're on it because they are...

When I was about 10-12 I read series of books about an ex soldier/freedom fighter and his adventures throughout the galaxy. I can't remember the titles or author but the protagonist had an un breakable skeleton which was used in the plot several times. The main antagonist was a man encased in...

Stumbled across this forum whilst conducting another search for a book I read back in the 80's. Details may be sketchy and possibly mixed with other stories, its a long time and a LOT of books ago! Set on a future Earth taken over by an alien race. Humans reduced to prisoners/cattle? (memories...

So this girl is kidnapped and taken on board a spaceship, there is someone beside her when she wakes up but she thinks she might fool them into thinking she's still asleep- I think it's because she has some powers she wants to use but anyhow she gets back to earth to save it. I think there was a...

Hi, I'm looking for two science fiction books that I read during the early 90's. I think that both was part of two separate series. 1. A stocky young man is landed/stranded on a planet with a few other youngsters (at least two girls and one boy). He is underestimated because they believe him to...

Hey, this has been driving me periodically crazy over the last ten years--maybe someone reading this can help out. As teenagers my brother and I read a sci-fi trilogy and loved it, but can only remember a few details about it. Here they are: 1. Written before 1990 (probably in the eighties)...

I once read a series of books that I'd really like to find again. It was sci-fi based. One man is the last of his race (they were a warrior race that lived on a planet and were hired out as mercenaries in war, and fearing this, an unknown enemy unleashed a virus/disease that killed everyone...

Hello, all.. would really appreciate your help with this. I'm trying to remember the title and author of a fantasy/adventrue series I first read about 10 years ago. The characters included a blind man who was a swordmaster, a woman whose abilities I forget, a girl who had psychic powers, and a...

As far as I remember it was about an old couple who lived in the forest. One day they found a baby toddling around. They took him in and reared him. Turns out he is from this settlement where operations are performed on pregnant women so their children are sorta monsters- loads of hair and...

I read it in the early 80's, but it may have been older. I don't remember the title or author or the name of the main character. But here's the basic story: A planet of warriors is destroyed by a big bomb. The sole survivor (and hero of the story) is off-planet at the time, but not far...
