    Translated SF Authors

    Well, I don't know if Sapkowski's Hussite's trilogy has already been translated into English. That's really a wonderful study of hidden of underlying history of the Hussite Wars or, at least, their part fought in Silesia.

    Dies the Fire, by S.M. Stirling

    Actually, all religions come to gain Magical Powers, even the pious Christians of Mt Angel, some of whom do see visions. And don't forget those of the Cutter Cult of Montana whose leaders are posessed. What concerns the phrase 'Blessed Be', well, my opinion is that if you accept the author's...

    Dies the Fire, by S.M. Stirling

    I am just puzzled why hasn't anyone posted here yet. Because what S.M. Stirling did with his Embeverse series is just astounding. I've recently read The High King of Montival and am looking forward to The Tears of the Sun. Montival is what became Oregon, Washington and Western Idaho in 20 years...

    Ancient Solar Death Ray?

    Archimedes' solar rays are likely a myth. If scientists nowadays were barely able to ignite a boat's sail, what can we say about badly finished mirrors Archimedes used? Those legendary 300 bronze mirrors that put Marcellus' fleet afire were likely a distracting maneuvre - to blind the Romans...

    History Quiz 2

    The dates of joining to the Gregorian calendary differed in Europe. England delayed its joining becuse of general "anitipapal" attitude, Russia - because it was improper for orthodoxality to go along the lines of a Pope-heretic. Russia, for example, joined Gregorian reform only in 1917!:rolleyes:

Such neutron star does not emit...

    Firstly, we need to study the environment and conditions of forming of such an alien race. All other things, such an physical outlook and social behaviour are going to be derivatives of the above. That's the whole scheme, actually.

    Harry Harrison

    Have read all the novels and series you mentioned. Add to this, other parts of "West of Eden" series are also good. Hammer and the Cross -is simply excellent in all its entirety - here I will disagree with you because I think of it as the logically finished work.

    Stanislaw Lem

    I was simply limited with 15 000 characters allowed for the message. The film was the product of Soviet-Polish co-operation and in Russian it was called "Doznaniye pilota Pirksa"
