Orson Scott Card
And god dammit we will have a discussion on Orson Scott Card in this thread as well. He's best known for the Enderverse, but he's written some other good ones too so check them out. The Earthborn (I think) is the best one I've read that isn't Enderverse, just putting that out there. AND HE IS MORMON. This concludes all discussion on that topic except in context with relevant discussion. Thank you.

Wow, that's quite a complicated interconnection of data there. Are those all books He's written?
I've only read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and the one side-book detailing the childhood of that one really short kid Ender's Shadow maybe? I forget the name. Anyhow, I really enjoyed them, and really ought to spend a little more effort trying to get a hold of the other ones to read. Orson Scott Card is a Mormon? That's news to me (though I do know he became more "Christian" later in life). If so, he has to have been a convert. |

I liked Ender's Game well enough.
I was pretty disappointed to find out that Card is a raging homophobe though. Which is ironic, considering the homoerotic imagery prevalent through Ender's Game and his other books. |

I've read both the Ender and Bean series and enjoyed them quite a lot. A raging God-Warrior of an author does irk me a slight bit though. |
