From: Sonia Schwartzberg <sonia@aids-unix> For those who read the short story and wondered upon arrival of the book ENDER'S GAME how Card could possibly make the book better, wonder no longer, but do go read the book. Again, Card has done a marvelous job. For those of you who have never read any of Orson Scott Card's work, DO. ENDER'S GAME, like THE WORTHING CHRONICLES (or "The Hot Sleep") is a hard book to put down. The short story is filled out very well in the book, and taken futher to a very satisfying end. ENDER'S GAME is out in hardback now, for ~$13, and I'd say it's worth it. Card is such a good writer that it only just now occured to me to note that he is the only author I know of who uses a six-year-old main character convincingly in an adult SF story. This is good stuff. Hey, Card, thanks....keep up the good work!! S.Schwartzberg arpa: sonia@aids-unix
