This empire is ruled by an entity, known as the Imperial Mind (it's actually a collection of all the former princes who became emperor) and millions of cybernetic humans, called Princes. After every 20 years, 1000 prices are chosen to battle for supremacy, to be chosen to enter the Imperial Mind. Also, these Princes have 3 main types of bodily advantages over humans.

In addition to this, Princes can be reborn, if their death was a noble one, and they have priests who take care of them, and Princes can telepathically speak to them (via Psitek.) Many pri...

Review by: Yagyesha Roy ;) I really don't like the Yucky Science Series but there was one book  that I really enjoyed. It was Tapeworms, Foot fungus, Lice and More . I learned cool facts and so when I saw this , I picked it up at my local library . So, here is my ten list. Ten facts that I learned after reading this book . There are some lizards that can squirt blood from their eyes. Cockroaches can survive for weeks without their head. There is a type of slug that looks like a long,bright banana. Snails are basically slugs with a shell. Ticks can drink so much blood that their bodies can swell up like a fat ripe grape. Some doctors use leeches to fix blood clots. Some plants actually drown insects and "eat" them. If a slug stays in the sun too long, it's protective mucus dries up and it dies. The animal that makes the most slime lives underwater. Fulmar chick's puke sticks like super glue.
