Quote from: esteban
When a virus decimates the non-native pig/boar population (introduced by the settler-farmers), Newt's great-great-grandmother is driven to near-suicide (her beloved pig "Quahog" being the only means of harvesting truffles). It is in a moment of desperation, however, that she discovers an enormous spacecraft buried under a substantial truffle patch near the sorghum fields. In Ridley's own words, she is "torn between the immediate crises facing her family (sorghum vs. cassava, utter collapse of truffle production) and the allure of an alien ship undisturbed for millennia beneath fallow fields."
Sounds like The Tommyknockers to me. :?

Indeed it does! I had not realized that before.

Yup yup! :) The part about an alien spaceship being buried in a field was what grabbed me!

Sorry, but I don't see your library card on the books of Ys.  Now, RETURN THEM TO ME!!!
