I just finished the Ender quartet and the Shadow trilogy, and am not just enthralled with both series, but ravenous for more!!! [Razz]
My life will be incomplete and unfulfilled [Frown] unless OSC indulges me with more books based on these awesome characters...does anyone know a way to beg/bribe/pester the brilliant man to write more Ender books?

Ooh, please Card-san, write more Ender books. There. I did what you asked. Compliance may or may not occur.

Welcome to Hatrack fufibean!

OSC is going to write another book linking the Ender series and the Shadow series together. So your prayers are answered. [Wink]

BTW, you might want to put a spoiler warning on your post.

Is the book that will link the ender series to the shadow series called shadow of the giant?? Or is it a different book.
 
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
 
Shadow of the Giant will be the book BEFORE the "linking book". [Smile]

Look guys, there are about 1000000000000000000000 other threads JUST LIKE THIS ONE. Can we please look for another one of the several on this page?

But look, there are two books in the works. The first is the 4th and final book to the Bean series, entitled Shadow of the Giant. THEN, there will be a "linking" book that will take place AFTER Children of the Mind, that will link that latter of the two series.

They don't know that Alai, they're newbies. What can you do? Not much. . . [Wink]

Alai is right, the linking book will take place after Children of the Mind and after Shadow of the Giant.

Am i the only person who lives in fear of OSC dying before he writes more books?

No, you're not the only one...
Someone in class started the ender craze by doing a book report on ender's game. Now, people are pestering me to do research.(sigh)
Does anyone know where to find shadow puppets in Singapore?

In English?

Am I the only person who hopes and prays that OSC not write even one more book in the 'enderverse'?

I want him to get back to writing his one shots. More like wyrms, songmaster, enchantment, treason, stuff like that. No more repetitive series stuff, please.

Yes, yes you are.
 
Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :
 
Apparently not.
 
Posted by Alai (Member # 1663) on :
 
No Slash, your not.
 
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
 
As I posted in Slash's other thread, no, he is not the only one. I don't really think anything other than ES was necessary. I also don't think CotM should have a sequel. Fortunately, it doesn't. [Smile]

Then again, I don't read all that much OSC.

I don't see what you people have against the shadow series
 
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
 
Hey, the Foundation series was repetitive, but it is still darn good. [Razz]

Yet... [Frown] One is in the works though.

Can anyone beg OSC to catapult his writing into the adult regime of literature (though I understand he's loathe to do it). I'm confident he could do so. I don't understand the balking.

Why introduce obfuscation for its own sake?
 
Posted by filetted (Member # 5048) on :
 
Obfuscation? Was that my post?

My question/request is a direct and sincere plea for the sake of better material from the bOSC. (not a comment on recent material output)

OSC is not loathe to do it. The adult regime of literature is loathe for him to do it. The literary community resents scifi/fantasy for stealing their audience (i.e. intelligent readers who enjoy good stories) and would not be supportive to any crossover attempts.

The most you can hope for is a novel written under a pseudonym, but then how will you know?

We will ask him and he will tell us [Smile]
 
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
 
Oooh, Good one Amka. That's true, if the author didn't tell someone, noone would know and it wouldn't matter. But that means that every book out there could be written by a super-intelligent computer program.. Whoa.

Anyway, I'm somewhat reassured by repetition, which is why I was such a follower of Piers Anthony for so many years. I for one am pleased that there will be two more.

I'm may be talking nonsense, as I haven't read all of his novels.

Will,

I might disagree with you a bit. He seems incredibly bitter about the whole literary (then the elitist mumbo-jumbo thing on ornery) thing. I must admit I don't really understand where that comes from, but I don't know the man.

This is rambling, but what I would long for from him as a fan is to be "wowed" as an adult reader as I was as a teenage one. The books I've read recently were good and clever, etc., but disappointing in the "wow" factor.

Given the "opening-eyes" compassionate insight he brought to some of my favorite novels, I would just love to see him set the bar higher and then clear it. (tall order)
