I really enjoyed the recent Book Riot post Guess These Famous Novels By Their Second Lines . As an SF fan, it made me wonder about famous second lines in speculative fiction. And first lines.Some searches revealed many posts of famous first lines in SF, but as I browsed I noticed many of my favorite first sentences from SF novels weren't well represented. So I decided to compile my own list as a quiz, in sincere imitation of the Book Riot quiz that inspired this effort. Like the Book Riot quiz, answers are in hidden (white) text next to the ANSWER label.Good luck!1. The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallowed sub-category.2. "I always get the shakes before a drop."3. His name was Gaal Dornick and he was just a country boy who had never seen Trantor before.4. The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.5. Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.6. It was a pleasure to burn.7. I'll make my report as if I told a story, for I was taught as a child on my homeworld that Truth is a matter of the imagination.8. The idiot lived in a black and gray world, punctuated by the white lightning of hunger and the flickering of fear.9. "Tonight we're going to show you eight silent ways to kill a man."10. A merry little surge of electricity piped by automatic alarm from the mood organ beside his bed awakened Rick Deckard.11. I did two things on my seventy-fifth birthday.12. "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one."13. There was a razorstorm coming in.14. In the nighttime heart of Beirut, in one of a row of general-address transfer booths, Louis Wu flicked into reality.15. The Hegemony Consul sat on the balcony of his ebony spaceship and played Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp Minor on an ancient but well-maintained Steinway while great, green, saurian things surged and bellowed in the swamps below.
