I’ve read all of James Alan Gardner’s books in his League of Peoples series, and the first one I’ve read twice. Expendable 1997 -> 4.5/5 Commitment Hour 1998 -> 4.5/5 Vigilant 1999 -> 4.5/5 Hunted 2000 -> 4.5/5 Ascending 2001 -> 4.5/5 Trapped 2002 -> 4.5/5 Radiant 2004 -> 5/5
All of these books were written by Orson Scott Card. If he writes any more sequels, I’ll read them. But the prequels he’s written with Aaron Johnston I’m not particularly interested in. The Ender series focuses on Ender Wiggin, and the Shadow series focuses on his friend Bean. I also watched the movie version of […]

{4.5/5} “The contracts Nordlund had signed with the Na-Dina promised enough hydroelectric power to double their world’s energy production.. That wold make possible more factories, more mills. Soon the Na-Dina would be able to build all the wonders the Infidels used so casually, and then the People would have no more need for the off-worlders.” […]
{4.5/5} “To the herd, the world consisted of warm water, easy travel, and good food. Through them, Jib had seen their River, traveled their ocean, tasted a hundred water plants, and and drunk the rich cream-laden milk of Taniwha’s mother. He’d wallowed in so many mental flavors, he had to be reminded to eat real […]
{4.5/5} “‘I argued for her admission,’ Rob confessed, ‘because I was worried that if she didn’t find something challenging to do with her skills, this girl would get herself into serious trouble.’” StarBridge 4: Serpent’s Gift by A.
