Which fantasy or science fiction series do you wish had been completed but probably never will be?
Nowhere Man’s premise was way ahead of the conspiracy genre. It's about a photojournalist that takes photographs of what appears to be an execution by hanging of individuals; by what seems to be an American black ops group. As far as he can recall he believes he had taken the photographs in a jungle, in a South or Central American country.The journalist “Nowhere Man” now back in the USA a few years later, has one negative left of those photographs and is being followed by shadow government agents, who seem to want the negative. The shadow government has effectively erased all aspects of his life, like in the book 1984; he is an “Unperson”. Family, friends, coworkers etc, act like they have no idea who he is. Nowhere Man now is trying to get to the bottom of this conspiracy and rebuild his life and prove in fact that he does exist.At the end of season 1, he is instructed by an unnamed agent, who seems to be an informant to go to a underpass by a highway, in New Jersey, USA. Once Nowhere Man arrives at the location he observes the exact staged area of the execution, that was in the photographs that he had taken, several years prior. Nowhere Man is now thoroughly confused, if the hanging was staged, why then do these agents want the negative?, why did they stage it in the first place and, is Nowhere Man in fact a sleeper agent? That was the cliffhanger….. but those questions and other revelations would remain unanswered, due to the show being promptly there after canceled; to my pissed off bewilderment.They did do a follow up episode a few months later to tie loose ends up, that “Project Gemini” was just a training exercise and that “Nowhere Man aka Thomas Vail, was a FBI agent. The creator of the show stated that wasn't supposed to be the big reveal, it was going to go much deeper in scope and a Global Wide conspiracy would have been uncovered, but the story was altered due to cancellation.If this show was revised now, and completed as the creator initially envisioned it; being this genre is currently popular, I think it would be a hit. But I won’t hold my breath.
Would you read a romantic love novel or a science fiction novel or a mythological fiction novel?
NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVERYou must have heard this and its true,because sometimes when you simply judge something by its outer appearances and afterwards you realize that it isn't like that,dont you feel pity??Well i do.So deciding which book to read based on its genre is stupidity.Because every book has its own elements which makes it special.Moreover if you are an ardent reader nothing can stop you from reading any book.Now if we focus on the question,It totally depends on the person what interests him/her more at that moment of time.If you want to read something serious or religious or historical stuff ,freely go for mythological books ,there are a whole lot of it.If you are in the mood of light reading you can pick up a romantic novel. As it doesnt give you any challenge of mystery solving or any other dots to connect.If science fascinates you ,nothing is better than science fiction but even if it doesn't that's a good choice too.If you are really in a mood of testing your Sherlock skills undoubtedly go for mystery novels .Now question is “would you read….”,people,there should never be a would you when it comes to reading,REMEMBER!P.S. genre is just an excuse for kids!HAPPY READING
Transitioning from YA fiction to adult novels...?
Hi! I am almost 19 years old and I still love ya fiction so much! I know that I will probably always love this genre but I really want to start trying to read some good adult novels. In the past I have read the women's murder club series and a bunch of adult sci fi novels, but I didn't really love them like I love ya fiction. I did absolutely love the host!!! I really like ya dystopian novels, adventure novels with romance, and ya fantasy sci fi novels. Ay suggestions on where to start reading in the adult genre? Some of my favorite books: -THE HOST! -the unbecoming of Mara dyer! - the hunger games (of course) - divergent series -the fault in our stars Thanks so much for your help!!!
What is the best science fiction book you have ever read?
"His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman. It consists of The Golden Compass (now a major motion picture), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. It has a touch of both fiction (entertainment) and science (fact). I would say I enjoy that series because I like to think on a much deeper scale than the simple words on a page. It's like Harry Potter, but it's much darker, it reached many subtle levels that I think Harry Potter hasn't reached. No offense to the HP fans, though. I like HP too, but I think it's really for pure entertainment only and is now very overrated. EDIT: @Scarlet Manuka, That is where you're wrong. HDM is also considered as Sci-Fi because of the use of the dark matter, aurora borealis, the intention craft (which, according to some scientists may be possibly invented in the future) and many others that can be considered as scientific issues. There's more to it than meets the eye. In fact, there is a book called "The Science of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials" by the Gribbins. It explains it all.
Romance novels that aren't cheesy or ridiculous?
This isn't a complete romance story, but it is such a great novel and based on the books you like, fits your age range. There is a romance aspect, but there is a plot other than that. I just finished this novel and loved it to death! WARNING: This novel does deal with the topic of date rape, but is in no way graphic, and is all in all a lighthearted, funny, enjoyable read. "The Mockingbirds" by Daisy Whitney: “Silence does not equal consent. . . . The only thing that means yes is yes.” When Alex, a junior at Themis, a New England boarding school, wakes up naked in a boy’s bed, she doesn’t immediately realize what has happened during the previous drunken night. As fragmented memories return, though, she begins to understand that what happened was date rape. With the encouragement of her friends and older sister, Alex submits her case to the Mockingbirds, an underground justice system inspired by Harper Lee’s classic novel, in which Themis students investigate and try crimes committed against other students. Whitney, whose author’s note discusses her own teenage experience of date rape and its aftermath, is a seasoned journalist, and she writes with smooth assurance and a propulsive rhythm as she follows Alex through the Mockingbird’s trial process and its accompanying emotional storm of confusion, shame, fear, and finally, empowerment. Authentic and illuminating, this strong debut explores vital teen topics of sex and violence; crime and punishment; ineffectual authority; and the immeasurable, healing influence of friendship and love. Grades 9-12."
