I have a question. I'm reading Shadow of the Giant, and Peter's compound is in Ribeirao Preto. I was wondering if that is where OSC went on his mission? Does anyone know?

Yes. You will find that a lot of OSC's primary locations are places he has been.

Thank you. My son is serving a mission there right now and when I read the name of the city, I thought there must be a connection to OSC. My son is a fan, so he'll think it's pretty cool, too.

I just realized that I have no idea where in Brasil OSC served his mission. Does anybody have any information about that?

It doesn't seem to me that much of the "screen time" of the Shadow books takes place in China.

Syrjay said Yes in his response to my question. Does that mean he's wrong, or doesn't really know?

I know that OSC went on his mission to Brazil. I don't know where in Brazil.

"Yes" was in reference to your original question about whether he served in Ribeirão Preto or not. For those that haven't read his bio here is a blurb:

quote:
Card left for Brazil on a two-year mission for the LDS Church. Serving in the cities of the state of São Paulo (Ribeirão Preto, Araraquara, Araçatuba, Campinas, Itu, and São Paulo itself), Card became fluent in Portuguese and fell in love with Brazilian culture.

Thank you Syrjay. I figured you knew what you were talking about. Thanks for verifying it for me.
