Treason

Product Information

So he uses this advantage of boobs to get where he wants. But there's a bit in here that I think should be noted: the most womanly parts about him are his breasts and the fact that he has long blonde hair. THAT'S IT. Nowhere does it say his eyes are motherly or that he's got real nice girly skin. It's seriously just his breasts. A Planet Called Treason, published in July, was Card's second published novel-length science fiction story; the short story collection Capitol had been published in January; Hot Sleep was published in April. I was reading this part while on a bus and a guy looked over my shoulder and got quite weirded out. Don't blame him.

You know what, I skimmed over Saranna a lot. Let me just say this: I have NO IDEA what is so appealing about her other than she's pretty and supposedly loyal. But I think there's like three different cases where they're in Ku Kuei and he sees her having sex with people.Yikes! I'm a fan of Orson Scott Card. He's easily my favorite author. He's often talked about as an egotistical jerk who you just shouldn't bother with. That, or he's just dismissed as crazy. (Thanks Hank Green. You really know how to make an argument on a hot-button issue.) I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he was just the sweetest guy imaginable. I've also read The Worthing Saga and The Folk of the Fringe and I thought they were absolutely phenomenal. He's made it very clear that he doesn't write "Mormon fiction". And in the cases when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is brought up in his fiction, he's often quite satirical. This can be seen in the cases of Ender's mother, or Deaver Teague, and many others. This mission is only the beginning of the adventure for Lanik, who discovers the secrets of the most powerful nations and at the same time gains additional abilities to save his people and determine the fate of his planet. England. When William Montague’s elder brother is accidentally drowned, his life changes. His distraught father leaves, and his aunt, the cold, ambitious Lady Carew, arrives, determined to use William to further her husband’s political ambitions.

This was probably the novel's biggest fault. This perspective naturally leads you to piece together plot points that the reader has yet to see. Thus, outside of aspects of the universe that you haven't yet been introduced to, there is no way to surprise the reader. Last one. There's a bit where he is in a cabin somewhere and he meets this girl who says that she's waiting for the right one. I honestly thought we were going to get something meaningful in this sexual travesty, but nope! Turns out, the girl is an old guy using some illusory science/magic and he makes his girl image naked, starts straddling Lanik so that she can get close enough to stab him. Through some science/magic that Lanik learned halfway through, he's able to freeze time and that allows him to see that the hot naked girl is an old guy...? And then I think he kills the guy - I really don't remember. Lo que nos cuenta. Lanik Mueller debe heredar en un futuro los dominios de su reino/familia, cuyo don es la regeneración de su organismo, pero al ser diagnosticado como regenerador radical su posición social y familiar cambia totalmente. Su padre, combinando destierro, política interna y espionaje internacional, le manda a investigar cómo otra familia/reino, los Nkumai, están haciendo crecer sus dominios por la fuerza y a una velocidad alarmante. Y es que estas familias, junto a muchas otras, descienden de los hombres que la República desterró hacia ya muchos siglos al planeta Traición como castigo por conspirar contra su dominio.

When Bobby begins a new school and endures sadistic cruelty at the hands of his new teachers, he is drawn away from his old friends and towards newcomer Daniel. To be clear, this was his next book after Ender's Game. So... "traditionally" isn't really fair because he was still discovering who he was as an author, and that's fine. I can appreciate this for the story it tells about the author. The story itself follows a young man named Lanik, who's family have the genetic capacity to rapidly regenerate from almost any wound...though he possesses a particularly hyper-reactive version of this ability that, triggered at the end of adolescence, results in his impending doom as a multiple useless-limb growing hermaphrodite. (And you thought YOUR puberty was rough.)

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments One MORE case of stupid rape was the two guys somewhere. The rape happened so suddenly that I forgot where Lanik even was. May have been a beach? Desert maybe? Lanik just smiles at these two guys and in a blink they're groping him and crap and it's all just really weird. But I don't feel any sympathy for him this time because first, he expected it to happen, and second, the scene happened so that he can show how manly he actually is. Yeah, he just kills the two guys. Cool I guess?

It's been years since I last read this, but I remember it very fondly. While it has some flaws, it is a really fun adventure story of a young man discovering himself & his world. And what a world! It's a very cool concept that Card has come up with. Part of the fun of the book is discovering this, so I won't say more in my review, except that it is a really interesting look at fanaticism & the evolution of societies. I gave the book 4 stars, so why does this get 5? The reader was pretty good, but not enough to give it another star. No, it's just a very good book & I rounded up this time because I found out a couple of things about Card over the years. I'm going to bring up two rape scenes written by Orson Scott Card. One is from The Folk of the Fringe and one is from this book.
