Kurzbeschreibung

März 1994
Only a few nuclear weapons fell in America-the weapons that destroyed our nation were biological and, ultimately, cultural. But in the chaos, the famine, the plague, there exited a few pockets of order. The strongest of them was the state of Deseret, formed from the vestiges of Utah, Colorado, and Idaho. The climate has changed. The Great Salt Lake has filled up to prehistoric levels. But there, on the fringes, brave, hardworking pioneers are making the desert bloom again.
A civilization cannot be reclaimed by powerful organizations, or even by great men alone. It must be renewed by individual men and women, one by one, working together to make a community, a nation, a new America.

3.0 von 5 Sternen Good but not Great 29. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Folks of the Fringe is more quilt then a solid story. The book encompasses several generations of people, Mormons for the most part, in their post-apocalyptic struggles.

This is not one of my favorite Card novels, which is somewhat suprising. I love short stories and I love post-apocalyptic thrillers. You would think that I would greatly enjoy Folk of the Fringe. I enjoyed the book, don't get me wrong, I just did not enjoy it nearly as much as I should have. I found the characters interesting but not fully developed and the movement of time too rapid to really get to know the situation or characters enough to become attached and truly care.

Overall a good book. I would recommend reading this book but I am not sure about purchasing it. This book is out of print quite frequently and is probably not worth the money or effort to pay big bucks to get but might be worth while to buy as a used book store for a buck or two.

A decent Card book but not near his best.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Thought provoking short stories 11. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Well I have read some of the other reviews and I could see their point. A couple of the short stories are light. However I was blown away by the first story "West". This book's first puplication came out in 1990. Prior to much of the ethnic cleansing that happened during the 90's, particularly in ex-yugoslavia. It was interesting how Card presented a scenario where is could (easily) happen in our own country. just imagine how your own community could Balkinize around you and ponder who would turn against who.

"Pagent Wagon" was also a good story in and of itself. Probably the most developed story in the whole book. The other stories were ok, but it is a book of "short stories" so what is the harm in reading them.

2.0 von 5 Sternen AMEN...... 17. März 2000
Von .
Format:Taschenbuch
Well it starts out well enough, but it became a morman recrutment pamplet. I think Mr. Card is one of the best writers I've read, but everybody has a bad day. I do think you should give it a shot, it does have some interesting thoughts ,and if you like Mr. Card, that's part of the reason you buy his stuff.
