Hint: 5 and 6 are paired (much more, internally, than 4 and 5 are). 5 is also distorted by my memory imposing a false symmetry with it and 4 -- a much more accurate spoiler would be "they go -around- the moon, then conquer the galaxy".
I'm somewhat surprised, for similar reasons, that nobody's guessed #8. #9's kinda obscure. Unless you've read it, in which it really isn't.
Now #3, well, that actually -is- obscure, though it might be helped if one understands that the three "endings" are of three different novels.
some hints, kinda
