daibhidcSince I'm sure you're all agog, here they are.
I've added a little bit of info about each book, so that those whose interest was piqued by the first lines can decide if it's stayed piqued.
1. The Book of Heroic Failures by Stephen Pile (humorous non-fiction about people who've done spectacularly badly at things)
2. Daggerspell by Katherine Kerr (Celtic fantasy)
3. Doctor Who: Wetworld by Mark Michalowski (Tenth Doctor and Martha novel, obviously)
4. GrailQuest: Den of Dragons by J. H. Brennan (fantasy roleplaying solo gamebook)
5. Secret Files of the Diogenes Club by Kim Newman ("weird fiction" short stories, with varying degrees of tongue-in-cheekness)
6. Red Dwarf VIII: The Scripts by Doug Naylor (scripts of the last season of RD, with commentary)
7. Don't Panic: Douglas Adams and the Hitch-Hiker's Guide by Neil Gaiman (quasi-biography, focussing on the HHGG phenomenon. Sorry to everyone who thought it was one of the trilogy!)
8. Newton's Wake by Ken Macleod (post-singularity SF about a family of Glasgow gangsters)
9. Doctor Who The New Adventures: The Also People by Ben Aaronovitch (Seventh Doctor novel which pays deliberate homage to Iain Banks' Culture, and has a few Discworld gags as well)
10. Star Trek The Next Generation: Imzadi by Peter David (complex multiple-timeline novel about the Troi/Riker relationship. The opening line is actually Jim Kirk, in the last scene of "City on the Edge of Forever", which may mean David is going to be sued by Harlan Ellison...)
Results:
pedanther scores 2.
Maybe I should be less random in my next book quiz...
