So I’m still on my Orson Scott Card kick and recently finished The Worthing Saga. It’s a collection of stories with a similar theme or at least related from the same concepts.
The main story, previously titled Hot Sleep, but renamed to Hot Sleep: The Worthing Chronicle is very much worth reading. But the other stories (which come after the main story) didn’t really add to the original story and in fact, show several divergences because they are from earlier versions.
SPOILER WARNING: Plot ending and/or details follow.
