LJH Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 well, I have three books on egyptian fiction: The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith. Ramose: Prince in Exile by Carole Wilkinson and Nefertiti by Michelle Moran. Haven't read them, they just in my shop...hot or cold?
Andy78 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Yes Ramses - but there are oh so many books, by oh so many writers, you're going to need to guess a lot closer than that.
Frostina Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 oh oh oh!! Is it By the Christian something guy??? All i know is he's French! is that the one?
Andy78 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Yes it is by that Christian something guy (Christian Jacq), but which book? He has written about a dozen on Ramses.
Frostina Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 no clue, whatsoever! I read one a long time ago, and that too what a library book. also, i am pretty sure i wouldnt even have remembered fi this line was indeed in that book! *sigh* *waits for someone to throw some light into the Egyptian mazes*
Roan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 He reached out and pressed an invitingly large red button on a nearby panel. The panel lit up with the words Please do not press this button again.
Red_A Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 The HitchHiker Guide to the Galaxy, by Richard Adams but I do not know if it was in the original radio plays, one the books, or the televison programme. Oh dear this shows what my life is like 1
Roan Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Wow too easy !/ You are right - but which book? Oh its Douglas Adams but Ill let you have a mulligan on that one Roan
Red_A Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 A guess it would be the first book The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe, as feels more likely. But as Richard Adams was renowned for altering his original radios series by adding deleting and moving incidents to create the books, it may be wrong.
Andy78 Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 It's been a week with no sight of Roan. Red do you just want to go ahead and post the next line? We know you've got the right series and author. If we hang around much longer this thread will die off.
Red_A Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Well my first thought was Thud, but I thought that was too easy so it is, "Finally all that remained of the Leda came to rest upon a barren plain near the equator, bedding down in the primordal oozes under six thousand metres of ocean" It was a famous phrase.
Red_A Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 This is said to be a sequel of a H.G. Wells book 84 years before published.
Andy78 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Is it The Time Ships? But I can't remember the author for the life of me.
Red_A Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 The time ships by Stephsn Baxter. I had to google that as I did not know it (note to sefl must buy it) Ah hum the time ships was first published in 1995 one hundred years after the time machine to which it is an offical sequel. No
Andy78 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 "He was sitting in the library today, doing some homework, and I just had to watch him for a while. And, being the pervert that I am, I looked at his butt too."
Andy78 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 He even gets the right book in the series Your turn Louis
