Harlan Ellison has won more awards for imaginative literature than any other living author, but only aficionados of Ellison’s singular work have been aware of another of his passions … he is a great oral interpreter of his stories. His recordings have been difficult to obtain … by his choice. In 1999, for the first time, he was lured into the studio to record this stunning retrospective. Contents include: an original introduction; I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream; Laugh Track Grail; “Repent, Harlequin!” said the Ticktockman; The Very Last Day of a Good Woman; The Time of the Eye; Paladin of the Lost Hour; The Lingering Scent of Woodsmoke; and A Boy and His Dog (source of the cult motion picture). This recording is the winner of the International Horror Writers Bram Stoker Award for outstanding non-print media. Available from Amazon.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card is the story of Ender Wiggin, a gifted and unique child genius, who has been chosen to save the earth in a war against an alien race simply known as “buggers.”
Orson Scott Card did an excellent job of combining action, suspense, drama with a very clever twisting plot with complex and believable characters.
The story is of Ender as he is training to be a commander at Battle School by engaging in mock battles in zero gravity.
Ender makes loyal friends, encounters intimidating bullies, and unfair teachers. There he is recognized, not only for his intelligence, but also for his leadership skills. It is Ender’s extraordinary compassion and his ability to empathize that not only enables him to be successful earning him the respect of his teachers and his followers, but also at outwitting his enemies.
This is where Ender is smart and courageous, sensitive, and selfless and heroic but also vulnerable and sometimes insecure with human weaknesses. Ender shows that real heroes are not merely physical strength or brilliance, but sensitivity and compassion.
Ender’s Game won both the Hugo and the Nebula the year it came out. Orson Scott Card was also the first to win both awards the following year for the sequel, Speaker for the Dead.
Available on CD at Amazon.
