Uncle Orson's List of Emergency Christmas Gifts

by Orson Scott Card

December 20, 2007
It's the day before Christmas and you realized that you didn't get a gift for your sister's kid. Or your sister.

Or maybe a friend comes by and gives you a "little something" and you don't have anything for them. The stores are only open for a few more hours. What do you do? What do you buy?

BOOKS



Fantasy

Lynn Flewelling: The Tamir Triad, starting with The Bone Doll's Twin and continuing with Hidden Warrior and The Oracle's Queen. Perhaps the deepest psychological novel I've ever read — the fantasy makes the unconscious issues real. Gorgeous but dark.

Kate Elliott: The Crown of Stars series. Just pick up the first volume, King's Dragon. Not the book entitled Crown of Stars — that's volume seven. You might worry that your fantasy-reader friend might not be glad to get volume one of seven — but I promise you, they'll be grateful once they've read this extraordinarily powerful opening volume. But this, like Lynn Flewelling's, is not for the faint of heart.

David Gemmell: Anything. I recently discovered this British author and was dismayed to learn he died just a few years ago. I've read all of the beautiful and moving Rigante series, but so far I've picked up nothing of his that wasn't excellent and compulsively readable for the fantasy fan.

Just noticed that on Amazon's Top 100 Series Books Stalking Darkness is at 59 and Traitor's Moon is at 65. And considering the rest of the list is almost entirely Jordan, Goodkind, and Pratchett, that's rather exciting. By the time I type this it's probably already changed, so I'm savoring the moment.
