- Orson Scott Card is the author of the novels Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, and Speaker for the Dead, which are widely read by adults and younger readers, and are increasingly used in schools. His most recent series, the young adult Pathfinder series (Pathfinder, Ruins, Visitors) and the fantasy Mithermages series (Lost Gate, Gate Thief, Gatefather) are taking readers in new directions.
Besides these and other science fiction novels, Card writes contemporary fantasy (Magic Street, Enchantment, Lost Boys), biblical novels (Stone Tables, Rachel and Leah), the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker (beginning with Seventh Son), poetry (An Open Book), and many plays and scripts, including his "freshened" Shakespeare scripts for Romeo & Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Merchant of Venice.
Card was born in Washington and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he teaches occasional classes and workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University.
Card currently lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, with his wife, Kristine Allen Card, where his primary activities are writing a review column for the local Rhinoceros Times and feeding birds, squirrels, chipmunks, possums, and raccoons on the patio.

(Imperio 01) Imperio por Orson Scott Card
La posibilidad de una nueva guerra civil en Estados Unidos como consecuencia de la virulencia de los enfrentamientos políticos entre republicanos y demócratas, entre derecha e izquierda. Un problema que no es exclusivo de los Estados Unidos de América...
Rigg, Umbo y Param han cruzado el Muro que separa el mundo que conocen de un mundo que ni siquiera pueden imaginar. Los tres chicos esperan haber llegado a un lugar seguro, pero los peligros en este nuevo cercado son más difíciles de ver. Saben que no pueden fiarse del prescindible Vadesh (una máquina con forma humana, creada para el engaño), pero tampoco pueden confiar ya los unos en los otros. Sin embargo, ésa será su única opción, ya que, aunque Rigg puede ver los rastros del pasado, no puede vislumbrar el horror que les aguarda: una fuerza destructiva con un terrible objetivo está a punto de precipitarse sobre Jardín.… (más)
El programador de juegos de ordenador Step Fletcher se muda, junto con su familia, a Steuben, un pueblecito de Carolina del Norte (EEUU). La familia, de religión mormona, deberá superar los problemas de la vida cotidiana, agravados por la necesidad de integrarse en el nuevo trabajo, en la nueva escuela y en la nueva comunidad. Pero la preocupación de los Fletcher por sus hijos se convertirá en espanto y terror al saber que varios niños han desaparecido de Steuben y que, ¡terrible descubrimiento!, esos "niños perdidos" tienen especial relación con su hijo mayor Stevie.… (más)
Los ''curadores'', con sus musculosos y fuertes cuerpos escondidos tras negras capas, se mueven sigilosamente por las calles de la ciudad recogiendo indigentes y, sobre todo, curando enfermedades y proporcionando esperanza a los desahuciados. Usan un virus adaptado al genoma de cada paciente para eliminar enfermedades geneticas hasta hoy incurables: la enfermedad de Parkinson, la corea de Huntington, la fibrosis quistica, etc. Pero ese mismo virus, cuando alcanza a otros seres humanos, es el vector de una muerte segura tras escasos minutos de atroces sufrimientos. La Agencia de Riesgos Biologicos (ARB) enfrentada al peor virus conocido, ha de recurrir a la ayuda del doctor Frank Hartman, un brillante virologo que parece haber desarrollado un antivirus eficaz. Los ''curadores'' son tambien seguidores de un nuevo culto religioso y de un nuevo Profeta que promete un futuro sin enfermedades y una mejora de la especie humana gracias a su dominio de la medicina genetica. ¿Cual ha de ser el mejor futuro para la especie humana: el que propone ese visionario Profeta o el que defiende la ARB?… (más)
