Q3. The UK title of one of the New Heroes books is also the name of a place... What's the other way of spelling that place's name? (Hint: most of the letters are the same!)
Five points
Answer: Saqqara Another way of spelling it (much less common) is Saqqarah, which I would also have accepted if anyone had submitted that as their answer - even though it doesn't have the same number of letters! Sakkara (or Saqqara) was a huge necropolis (a burial ground; literally a "city of the dead") for the ancient Egyptian capital city of Memphis. For more information, see the entry in Wikipedia.

Q9. What was the name of the magazine that published the short story that inspired Michael Carroll's first published novel?
Five points
Answer: Phase One
This was a slightly tricky one, hence the high pointage! First you needed to find which of my novels was published first: this could be done by checking through the novels in the Bibliography. The first novel is The Last Starship, published in June 1993. The note for the revised edition says that it also contains the short story "Pelicos" that inspired the trilogy... So next you had to find the magazine in which "Pelicos" was first published, which of course could be found by checking through the short stories page!
