Narration Supposing Books The Worthing Saga (Worthing #1-3)

Gathering every story about Jason Worthing, this volume includes "The Worthing Chronicle," as well as all of the other stories set on Capitol and later on Jason's colonized planet.

It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever, then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful--they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Somec created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put in motion. It allowed interstellar Empires to be built.

It came near to destroying humanity.

After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies, and teaching robots, and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason Worthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried.

Orson Scott Card is "a master of the art of storytelling" (Booklist), and The Worthing Saga is a story that only he could have written.

Judgment Containing Books The Worthing Saga (Worthing #1-3)

I read this several times as a teenager, at which time I was neck deep in a massive Card phase. It's a collection of several of Card's earliest stories, all set in a future world where the planet is one giant city, people take a drug that allows them to "hibernate" for years without aging, and which has basically no culture, art, or any other redeemable quality.At the center of it are two men, Jason Worthing, who is the last descendant of a race of people who can read minds, and Abner Doon, who

Mormons in space. I think. I really know nothing about the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A friend of mine recommended the book, and I read it, but I was seriously underwhelmed.

The book is actually 3 parts: - The Worthing Chronicle: Originally named Hot Sleep, his first novel. This is about half the book, and contains the best elements I describe below. - Tales from Capital: A handful of short stories set in the same universe. They aren't as deep as the novel, but they fill out the back story, and give a better feel for the setting (or, at least one aspect of the setting). Still very enjoyable. - Tales from the Forest of Waters: Two of Card's earliest short stories,

Note: My audiobook review is at the end of this review.Orson Scott Card never ceases to amaze me in the questions he tackles in his writing. In The Worthing Chronicle, Jason Worthing comes to a small village where Lared resides and asks him to write his story. As Lared writes we learn of two worlds - Capitol and Worthing. It is through Jason's story that Card explores the reasons why a god would leave their children unprotected when they have the power to provide lives full of happiness and

Pretty much my dream book. This book details what would happen if you crash landed on a different planet and had to remake civilization. A very very interesting read. The main character goes into cryo so he is able to witness the world evolve over thousands of years. This book gripped and captivated me, a pure 5 star rating.

This book needs its own blog post, or two. As a writer just reading this book you learn so much abut the writing process and how to see other characters through one characters eyes. You can also learn how to weave, I think it was 20,000 years of history into a story, and literally thousands of characters as well, and the story still makes perfect sense. Not only that, he also picked a current time, and wove the telling of the ancient story within the current storyline in an excellent manner.
