Bestsellers: Card's "Shadow of the Hegemon" Hits Bestsellers in Paper
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The paperback edition of Orson Scott Card's
book "The Shadow of the Hegemon" joined the national bestseller lists
this past week, hitting the New York Times' list and USA Today's top
150 in its first week out in paperback. The book brings the number of
Mormon-related books on the bestseller lists back to four.
"Shadow of the Hegemon" is the most recent book in Card's "Ender's
Game" series, and the second to tell the series from the position of
Ender's Shadow, Bean. This series is Card's most higly acclaimed
work, with two of its titles winning the major Science Fiction
awards, and the first book, "Ender's Game" even reaching the reading
lists for some high schools in the U.S. Card is also known among LDS
Church members for his recent series of books about the women of
Genesis.
Mormon News is experiencing logistical problems with the LDS
bestseller lists, but we expect that they will return shortly also.
