I've been tagged by Nick Senger at Literary Compass to participate in his Title Blending meme...
(I might counter with resurrecting my sf book meme... 
)
The idea is to blend two book titles together by using the last word of one title and the first word of the second title. If you want, you can blend the authors' names too.
Here are my picks, confined (as one might expect at a science fiction blog) to science fiction and fantasy titles.
- Stranger in a Strange Land That Time Forgot by Robert A. Rice Burroughs
- Ender's Game of Thrones by Orson Scott R.R. Martin
- A Deepness in the Skylark of Space by Vernor E.E. Smith
- Old Man's War of the Worlds by H.G. Scalzi
- American Gods of Red Mars by Neil Stanley Rice Burroughs

I made mine a bit different. I didn't keep all elements of the titles, so with blending SPEAKER OF THE DEAD with SEEKER, I left out "speaker" and made it: SEEKER OF THE DEAD.
I'm a maverick blender!
Thanks. FUN!

Okay, here are mine. I did do many in the regulation way of blending, but I also smooshed some others in non-regulation manner. I am vast, I contain a multitude of SF silliness:
NEVERENDING DUNE by Frank Ende
(which also says something about how I feel about the sequels plus sequels plus prequel)
SPIN DOCTOR BLOODMONEY by Robert Charles K. Dick
TITUS ALONE AGAINST TOMORROW by Mervyn Ellison
WHEN GRAVITY FAILS, THE FALLING WOMAN by Pat Effinger
(which I think blended GORGEOUSLY, even poetically)
NINE TITANS OF CHAOS IN AMBER by John C. Zelazny
SEEKER OF THE DEAD by Orson Scott McDevitt
PARABLE OF THE LAST HAWK by Octavia Asaro
LORD OF THE RINGWORLD by J.R.R. Niven
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE UPON THE DEEP by George R.R. Vinge
STRANGER IN A STRANGE WAY STATION by Clifford D. Heinlein
THE SHEEP STAND AND LOOK UP ON ZANZIBAR by John John Brunner
SOLDIER OF THE MISTS OF AVALON by Marion Zimmer Wolfe
THE HERO AND THE CROWN OF STARS by Kate McKinley
THE ANUBIS GATES OF HELL by Susan Powers
DANGEROUS DANDELION WINE by Harlan Bradbury
THE PHOENIX AND THE MIRROR OF HER DREAMS by Avram Donaldson
Much fun. THANKS,
Mir
