One of my favorite authors is Orson Scott Card. He was the first person to win both the Hugo and Nebula awards in the same year. Then he did it again the next year too. If you've never heard of these awards, they are science fiction equivalents of the Oscars and Emmies.Scott is best known for writing "Ender's Game", a wonderful book about a boy who becomes a general in an intergalactic war. (Yes, I call him Scott. I met Scott about ten years ago when I lived in North Carolina. We attended the same church there.) Work is finally proceeding on a movie based on "Ender's Game". It's still three to four years out, but I'm excited by the prospects of this movie, especially because Scott once told me that an "Ender's Game" movie would probably never be made. If you've never read any of Scott's work, "Ender's Game" is the book you should start with. You can also find excerpts of some of his other books and writings on his web site, < a href="http://www.hatrack.com">Hatrack River.
