Hi there, I'm Andrea. I just had a quick question; I've read all the main Ender books, but not the short stories, etc. Is there a book somewhere that collects all of OSC's works in the Enderverse in to one volume? I know I'll have to go elsewhere for Enderverse works written by other authors, but I'd love to read all of OSC's explorations of it.

Not that I know of. You can get them in a couple collections, though:

The first four stories written -- "Ender's Game,"
"Investment Counselor," "The Polish Boy," and "Teacher's Pest" are in the collection "First Meetings."

The first four stories from the "InterGalactic Medicine Show" webzine, "Mazer in Prison," "Pretty Boy," "Cheater," and "A Young Man with Prospects," are in the webzine's paperback anthology. "Ender's Stocking" appears in the novel "A War of Gifts: An Ender Story," and the stories "Ender's Homecoming," "Ender in Flight," and "The Gold Bug" are more or less included in the novel "Ender in Exile."

I'd love to hear an all-in-one collection is in the works, though.

I think its unlikely that an anthology is in the works since OSC is still adding to the Enderverse.

Could be Enderverse, part one...

I just finished "Ender in Exile this morning, and it was fantastic; that's why I went looking for other stories about Ender. I missed him (weird, about a fictional character, I know)! Thanks!

I appreciated First Meetings, it gives us more honest view of Mr. and Mrs. Wiggin, unburdened by the presence or views of thier children. Although it did give me serious questions about the timeline that it all lives on.

Oh yeah, welcome to Hatrack and I hope you enjoy chewing the fat with fellow OSC fans. You should enjoy the benefit of another new members hostile welcome and will not be ridiculed for atleast a week, I suggest you utilize this time well. [Smile]

Thanks! I'm interested to start exploring. I really just came to ask that one question, but I always enjoy a good conversation/debate. Should be good.

A new person!? Release the velocipedes!

Posted by AchillesHeel (Member # 11736) on :

I am pretty sure that our non-existant budget as a forum couldnt cover the research and development not to mention several completely new forms of science needed to merge the genetic code of velociraptor and centipede. That said, I am left to assume that the godless monsters are your own doing and will soon have the title role of a syfy original movie.

Kudos.

A velocipede apparently also happens to be a real term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocipede

This is giving me visions of vultures at a corpse...

that makes this about ten times scarier.

I still prefer my imaginary monster to silly bicycles or tricycles or whatever you may call such odd things.
