Ambiguous, isn't it?
Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
I'm just thinking Basement Jaxx, Jump 'n Shout
But that doesn't really count as a book now, does it...

Since I haven't heard of this it can't be the targeted book/series.KeE wrote:I'm just thinking Basement Jaxx, Jump 'n Shout ...
The blurb expanded:
They reject a verbose challenge, they scream and leap.

What about a slightly more verbose blurb?
It seems that noone is screaming and jumping to this challenge yet....

They reject a verbose challenge, they scream and leap. Though it appears that the ones earning a full name are those learning to think first.

Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
Expanded some more.
They reject a verbose challenge, they scream and leap. Though it appears that the ones earning a full name are those learning to think first. Think of these Heroes as you would of formidable and highly intelligent Bengal tigers.
Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
"Think of these Heroes as you would of formidable and highly intelligent Bengal tigers" this pretty much sums up my impression of Watchmen...

Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
Added some qualifiers.
Is this a growing blurb or what?They reject a verbose challenge, they scream and leap. Though it appears that the ones earning a full name are those learning to think first. Think of these Heroes as you would of formidable and highly intelligent, bipedal Bengal tigers, but who nonetheless, in their hunting reserves, hunt in quadripedal mode. Their homeplanet is 61 Ursae Majoris.

Sounds like Larry Niven's Kzinti, which I know primarily through the Ringworld books and a short story or two. I've never read any of the Man-Kzin War books.

Finally.
Your turn to plant a shoot.
Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
Despite the interference of an ass and a meddling secret society, things work out according to plan.

A good guess, but not what I was thinking of...KeE wrote:A midsummer nights dream?
Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
Now I'm thinking Ass=Mule, and we're into Asimov country. The Mule was a character in one of the Foundation books, and "the second foundation" was a somewhat meddling secret society with, as I recall, some PSI abilities. Now it's been ages since I read the series, I'll have to pick a title at random: Perhaps it is "second foundation"?
It is written.
Re: GAME -- One line "blurbs" (for Sherlocks)
Yes, I was looking for the Foundation trilogy. You're up!
