Andrew (Ender), Valentine and. . .eek! Can't remember the brother's name!

Almost got it, Eruviel! The brother's name is one of Christ's apostle's names.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 10:46 PM

I just remembered--Peter.

(i think. . .

)

That's it! Excellent job, Eruviel!
I've only recently re-discovered the sci-fi genre....read it like crazy when I was young and then somehow got on to other stuff.
Fellow Mooter Mordomin and I were talking one day about books we liked and our conversation reminded me of some old favorites
which I need to re-visit. Because of that conversation I looked into some of the newer stuff and found the Ender's Game series, and am I glad!

Now, what are the names of the three alien species threatened with Xenocide?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 11:15 PM

humans, (do they count?), the 'buggers,' and. . .eek. I dunno, as I said, I only read the first two all the way through...hey! maybe I still have my old friend's copy of xenocide that she lent to me...uh, four years ago

Is it cheating to look at the book? 'Cause now I have the answer: Humans, pequininos and the Hive Queen. And there's the virus descolada. . .

As "an unbiased bystander", well, I was. People aren't answering because the questions are all on the same topic.
So, I'll do a bit of changing:-

Where in the body would you find the phalanges?

Sorta. Ideas that function in a similar fashion to genes, that exhibit features such as self replication, and protection.

Imladris · 06-07-2002, 02:08 PM

Is it me, or is sorta the new word for yes? How much more precise did you want afro to go?

BeardofPants · 06-07-2002, 03:39 PM

Well, they are comparative to genes NOT viruses. Where is he, anyway? It's his turn to ask a question.

Cirdan · 06-07-2002, 05:15 PM

Where one should be, there was three.
When an Ed was long, long before EdTV.
seeing double is hard, triple worse, you see.
