Question: Is there a book that!.!.!. (sf book idea)!?
the earth has been taken over by some alien race!. we come into the story on some other planet with some other race!. this 'other race' is the one that defeats the invaders and humans are mostly just a side note (like we help them because we were put on the planet as grunt workers while the conquer race was taking over the 'other race')
its just every sf book i read where there is a conquering race the humans are just soo full of themselves that they have to defeat the aliens!.!.!. i'm sure there are plenty of far superior races in these universes and i've gotten kinda board with us winning them all!.
it's told from the point of view of the 'other race' the alien race that is in the process of being conquered!. just like any of the others except it isn't man!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm sure this has been done before!. Almost anything you can think of that works (and a few things that don't) has been done one way or another over the years!. For some reason, your idea makes me think of Heinlein, or Asimov, but I'm not well-versed in these classic authors!.

Or try Phillip K Dick!. His "Now Wait for Last Year" and "The Gameplayers of Titan" are similar to your idea, though Phillip, in all his genius, put wonderful twists on them!.

Instead of a gimmick, try writing the most interesting story in the best way you possibly can!. There are a lot of stories where the humans, too "full of themselves", get their comeuppance!. How can you make such a story unique and interesting!?

Finally, you'd probably get more replies if your wrote your post more grammatically!. Word your ideas clearly, as well!. If you can't word your ideas clearly, or can't be bothered to, what's going to happen when you get to the actual writing!?

Good luck!

(Edit: I'm entirely unsure of other books you could read or movies you could watch, sadly!. You may have to put up with us insufferable humans!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like this question because I had to think hard to come up with one!. LOL The only story I could even think of was the movie, Planet of the Apes!. The humans were slaves and considered savages!.!.!.the apes ran the world, which just so happened to be earth!. "Aghhh! I can't believe they did it!!" --Great movie!.

Remember that in the subsequent sequels, man fought back!. The first movie though saw man being defeated!.!.!.which is what made it great, IMHO!. Because we did it to ourselves!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
