The greatest Landmarks in Science Fiction and fantasy

[gully_foyle]

God's final message to his creation (as seen in So Long and Thanks for all the Fish). At least that one is geared up for tourists.

I cannot believe noone posted this one....Amber.

 

[Connavar]

I havent read Amber yet so.




Tower of the Elephant

Do i really need to say where that is from

 

[Orion]

Not sure if GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire would count, but if it was I would say maybe the Iron Throne or The Wall.

 

[Quokka]

Arthur C Clarke's Space Elevator from Fountains of Paradise has to get a mention (it also turns up in Kim Stanely Robinson's Mars trilogy), Thistledown from Greg Bear's Eon (and sequels) and the River Tethys from Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos.

How about the House at the End of the World, since reading The Redemption of Althalus I've wanted to go there.

 

[Fried Egg]

What about that ancient city in antarctica they found in Lovecraft's "At The Mountains of Madness"? I can't remember what it was called or if it even had a name, but it was impressive...

 

[GOLLUM]

Not sure if it ever had a name?

 

[Snow]

I've done some research on a few of these places and have been convinced from the descriptions alone to read the books they come out of!

[DeepThought]

Moon's Spawn - Anomander Rake's gigantic floating fortress from Erikson's Malazan series comes to mind. I think it makes a brief appearence in both Gardens of the Moon and Memories of Ice. Hope I'm not giving away any spoilers .

Cheer's, DeepThought

I also thought Moon's Spawn was was pretty impressing.

I have seen it only in GOTM so far since im only on the second right now.

I dont think its a spoiler by giving away only the name and not what is and its role in the Malazan series.
