Ruins by Orson Scott Card - OPTIONAL



Card, Orson Scott Ruins, 530 pgs. Simon Pulse, 2012. $18.99. Language: G (O Swears);  Mature Content: PG; Violence: PG; 

Rigg, a trained survivalist, finds himself fatherless in a futuristic world with walls that section off society.    With his newly made friends in Umbo, Loaf, Param, and Olivenko, Rigg has pushed through a “wall” into another section of society. There he meets Vadesh, an exact copy of his pseudo father. Treachery awaits this small band at every corner. Rigg and his friends, some who possess super powers, must sort through all the new information being thrown at them in order to survive and fulfill their destinies. 

This second book in the “Pathfinder” series becomes even more complicated than the first.  It is a must to read the first book in order to fully understand and follow this second book.  Although this world concept is a great idea, the details of life on this planet are confusing. It’s a challenge to keep up with Card’s racing mind.
