Hi, I've read the EG and ES series and i was wondering what series to read next. I loved both of those series and have read each book at least ten times each. I'm very interested in Mr. Card's other series. Does anyone have any suggestions on which series to commence with next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'll second that. The Alivn Maker series starts with Seventh Son, and is Card's other big series.

Most of my favorite stuff of his is not part of either series, but that's probably because most of his stuff is not part of either series.

If it is sci-fi that you're looking for, I would recommend Lovelock (with Katherine Kidd), The Worthing Saga, or Pastwatch (which is a good trasition book between sci-fi and historical fantasy). The Homecoming series is also sci-fi, and very good.

I just realized that could be offensive. No I would reread them. What other series have you read?

I think you should read every book OSC has ever written. Maybe start from the beginning

I say start with Homecoming. Alvin Maker is more popular, but I think Homecoming is better. [Dont Know]

I agree with Nick, but I haven't really read any Alvin Maker. I only started reading The Memory of Earth, up to chapter 5, and I'd say that the EG and ES series are the only thing better. OSC has officially just become my most favorite author ever!!!!! PARTY!!! [Party]

I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions of other books/series that have the same military/political focus as EG

Thanks

I've only read the first Alvin Maker book (Don't stone me!) but, I can say that the Homecoming characters are the only that have ever really inspired emotions towards them, I don't want to have any spoilers, but some of the characters just rubbed me the wrong way, which is a good thing. They were well written and I think that it was suppose to do that.
