Thanks Terry, I've been meaning to read Orson Scott Card's Ender Game novels. I know there's a long series of Sagas pertaining to Ender Game universe. Card is a controversial figure, being a devout Mormon and all. His religious predilections have occasionally caused liberals and the gay and lesbian community to get all riled up when Card sed something that perhaps he shouldn't have. I gather Card has occasionally been verbally harassed at book signings. Despite Card's "faults" he still writes damned good thoughtful speculative fiction. It just goes to show that even though one may embrace what some might consider a restrictive religious philosophy, that does not necessarily prevent a good imagination from roaming the universe. Card's prose can be beautiful. And mind you - I'm a part-time dyslexic. ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
