Orson Scott Card

The Memory of Earth

As Harmony's Oversoul grows weaker, a great warrior has arisen to challenge its bans. His name is Moozh, and he has won control of an army using forbidden technology. Now he is aiming his soldiers at the city of Basilica, that strong fortress above the Plain. Basilica remains in turmoil. Wetchik and his sons are not strong enough to stop a army. Can Rasa and her allies defeat him through intrigue, or will Moozh take the city and all who are in it?

The Call of Earth

Mostly brainless, but fun. What makes Card entertaining is the satisfying mysticism that surrounds his fantasy and sci-fi, but this series is thus far pretty lazy, not up to the standards of some of his much better books, like Enchantment or Pathfinder. But it's fun enough to keep reading, mainly because it plays on the Eddings- like Oversoul pretty well. I'll finish the series. Why not.

The Memory of Earth (Homecoming, Volume 1)

David Sheley

The City of Basilica has fallen. Now Wetchik, Nafai, and all their family must brave the desert wastes, and cross the wide continents to where Harmony's hidden spaceport lies silent, abandoned, waiting for the command to make the great interstellar ships ready for flight again. But of these sixteen people, only a few have chosen their exile. The others, Rasa's spiteful daughters and their husbands; Wetchik's oldest son, Elemak, have been forced against their will. Their anger and hatreds will make the difficult journey harder.
