Relation Supposing Books Treason
Lanik Mueller's birthright as heir to planet Treason's most powerful rulership will never be realized. He is a "rad" -- radical regenerative. A freak among people who can regenerate injured flesh... and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. For, on a planet without hard metals -- or the means of escape -- iron is power in the race to build a spacecraft. Iron is the promise of freedom -- which may never be fulfilled as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination. Now charged with a mission of conquest -- and exile -- Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan... a quest that may finally break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of Treason as the Offworld never could.

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 heThis was the most bizarre book I have ever read... not bad, just strange.
I'm not going to say this book doesn't have problems, but in spite of any problems it has, it is FUN. Lots and lots of fun. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
I got this book because it was on sale through Audible, assuming that it would be quite goodeverybody is always going on about what a fantastic author Orson Scott Card is. If I could sum Treason up in one word, I would say that it's lackluster. This is one of his early books, so we can't expect the same kind of polish that he would be writing with nowadays, but this book wandered around (literally) so much that sometimes I couldn't tell what the story would end up being about. Now that I've
When I was a teenager I tried really hard to like Orson Scott Cards books. I read Enders Game and loved it. I read Speaker for the Dead and was bored out of my mind. Then I read eight or ten of his other books and had a similar experience.I finally gave up. Ive moved on, mostly. He does have some intriguing ideas that make me think about reading his books every once in awhile. (This happens when I read about Terry Brooks as well though usually the desire to read his books is more of a Hmm I
This book is fabulous. It is tweaky in only the best kind of way that Orson Scott Card is awesome at. I got this book from the library freshman year and all my friends borrowed it and somehow it got lost and I had to pay the library $60 for a $5 book. They look down on "lost books" I guess. BUT even that could not sully my memory of this crown masterpiece of a book!
Card's second published book, the one I read redone slightly in later years. I kept puzzling over the fact that it seemed familiar, then I realized, yes, I'd read it before. One scene had really stuck in my head, but the rest had dissolved away. Even so, it is a good fast read with some interesting 'families.' Glad I read it again.
