The Book “Treason” by Orson Scott Card is awesome.   It was his second novel, I believe, which contains more by way of raw ideas than Leonardo da Vinci’s notebook.   One thing I notice about his writing style is how he loves to put his characters through hell…

The story takes place on a planet; “Treason”, where many families have formed nations.   Each family has a special power - one can regenerate limbs, one can talk to inanimate objects, Pocahontas stylee… you get the picture.   It is the story of how the poor, poor main character Lanik Mueller is cast out of his nation, exiled as a result of his inability to stop growing extra limbs, then follows as he explores the fascinating world of Treason around him.

For an early work, this is ridiculously good.   Check out Amazon if you don’t believe me - there are a million and one(ish) good reviews for it… it’s one of those “Can’t-put-down” books, and when you’ve finished reading it you will be chock full of ideas of your own, inspired by the seemingly bottomless amount of concepts OSC brings up.

Definately worth buying, since it’s the kind of book you’ll want to read again a few months later.
