According to B&N, Orson Scott Card just about owns the Sci-Fi genre bestsellers list. Somehow Dan Simmons managed to get a book in there. Is OSC slipping lol

Good for him! I knew that having one generic gift for everyone I know (a copy of EG) would be useful for someone!

It is a shame that people have missed his other books that have nothing to do with ender. Treason is better than a good chunk of the additional ender books, imo. And I'd put Songmaster in there as well. To be honest, the only books OSC has I didn't like were the later books in ender and memory of earth series. All of the single novels were incredible...

I wish I knew what "bestseller" meant in actual terms of sales...

Interesting. I found Treason fascinating and artistic, a lot of talent went into it, but I found it utterly distasteful and repulsive at the same time. And I would, by no means, recommend it to a casual reader.

Those sales are not in any definable order. By the sales rank numbers, they are not in order.

And it's limited to "military and space adventure", whatever that might mean.
