mr_mojo posted:Many years ago, in the early to mid 90s (though it was second hand so could be older) I read a book about a British sailors and Pacific islanders in the age of sail. It might have been historical fiction based on Cook or the mutiny on the Bounty or perhaps more just inspired by those events. The main female character might have been a princess and went off with the sailors. It felt like a mix of trashy romance and adventure and I mainly enjoyed it because it had some very saucy scenes. I think the cover was largely red in colour, possibly with said lady/princess looking alluring. Having read more about the Bounty and its history I remembered the book and tried to find it just out of curiosity and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it. Are you thinking of Horatio Hornblower? The main female character is a duchess or something who has to be rescued but then ends up on the ship with the hero for several books.

I'm looking for a novel or maybe a short story from around 2000-2005 about a Lunar colony cut off from Earth by a Kessler syndrome event. The colonists have to scramble to survive but develop a way to become self-sufficient. Does anyone know what it's called?

They could be on Mars, but I'm pretty sure it's the moon. This is a good reminder to pick up Seveneves, a lot of people love it.

I'm trying to find a book series from the 80s/90s. It was a Encyclopedia Brown style boy detective series but set in Utah in the late 1800s. The main characters family isn't Mormon but there is a lot written about Mormons. Any ideas of what these books could be?
