Story
alaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

Only a few nuclear weapons fell. But in the chaos of famine and plague, there existed a few pockets of order. The strongest of them was the state of Deseret. The climate has changed, and the lake has filled up. There, on the fringes, brave, hardworking pioneers are making the desert bloom again.

Story
Orson Scott Card is a master storyteller, who has earned millions of fans and reams of praise for his previous science-fiction and fantasy works. Now he steps a little closer to the present day with this chilling look at a near-future scenario: a new American Civil War. The American Empire has grown too fast, the fault lines at home are stressed to the breaking point, and the war of words between Right and Left has collapsed into a shooting war.

Setting down his thoughts on swordplay, on winning, and on spirituality, legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi intended this modest work as a guide for his immediate disciples and future generations of samurai. He had little idea he was penning a masterpiece that would be eagerly devoured by people in all walks of life centuries after his death.

Moving, engaging story with compelling characters
Hits hard in the current situation in America. Well-written and powerful. I won’t say more to avoid spoilers.

This Review Needs a Title...
In post apocalyptic America, a group walks from North Carolina to Utah dodging threats. This short book describes the interrelation of a band of mormons with a roaming loaner and the melding of their goals. It's not long enough to develop the characters and their relationships nor is it long enough to become boring as the scenes repeat as they wander the Appalachians, plains and Rockies.

Deaver's story
I love the writing of Orson Scott Card, Ender's universe and the Alvin Maker stories, but these stories of the Fringe are on another level...
