Card, Orson Scott: Alvin Journeyman: The Tales Of Alvin Maker 1V. 02647
Tor: NY. 1995.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Fourth volume in the Alvin Maker sf series. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE HALF-TITLE PAGE.
''The Tales of Alvin Maker comprising Seventh Son (1987), Red Prophet (1988) , Prentice Alvin (1989), ALVIN JOURNEYMAN (1995) and Heartfire (1998) - is set on Earth, an alternate-world version of the USA. On the basis of the first three volumes, it seems to come as close as humanly possible to the telling of an sf tale as Mormon parable, for the life of Alvin Maker clearly encodes the life of Joseph Smith (1805-1844), the founder of the Mormon Church. The early 19th-century USA in which he grows up has never experienced a Revolution; certain forms of magic are efficacious; and Alvin may become a Maker, one who can delve to the heart of things and transform them. As the sequence progresses, the Indian Nations set up a demarcation line, which is observed, along the Mississippi; and Alvin seems due to become a Maker'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Card, Orson Scott: The Abyss. 00207
Legend: London. 1989.
First hardcover edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Novelisation of the sf movie of the same title: published in the USA as a paperback only.
''Despite the largest budget of the period's undersea fantasies at about $60 million, and despite director Cameron's impressive track record with sf, this was not a box-office smash. A nuclear-missile-armed US submarine crashes at the edge of the Cayman Trough and the crew of an experimental, submersible drilling rig are asked to help rescue any survivors. A hurricane cuts communications with the surface; the laid-back, jokey rig workers clash with a paranoid team of naval commandos who blame everything on the Russians; and aliens dwelling in the Trench (looking a little like angels, and therefore good) teasingly appear to some people but not others. The peace-lovers clash stereotypically with the ''nuke the aliens'' group, and mayhem is followed by transcendental First Contact. Cameron is good at the low-key establishment of team cameraderie among working people, but the cute-alien theme and the relationship between estranged husband and wife have traces of marshmallow softness. The moral-blackmail finale of an earlier version of the script (aliens threaten world with tidal waves if world peace is not restored) is replaced by something that looks more like divine intervention. The film's moralizing is attractive but simplistic. More interestingly, most of the miraculous technology on display is either actually possible today or plausible for the near future. The novelization, whose author not unfairly calls it '' real novel'' is The Abyss * (1989) by Orson Scott Card'' (Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of SF)..

Hardcover.
Collection of linked stories.
''THE FOLK OF THE FRINGE (coll of linked stories 1989), is a moderately heterodox vision of a Mormon post-holocaust civilization. In a little less than two decades, the author has written enough work for a lifetime, has transformed pulp idioms into religious myth with an intensity not previously witnessed in the sf field, and has created a dozen worlds it would be impossible for any reader to forget. If he has had a significant failing - beyond a cruel insistence upon the moral strictures of his faith, writing at one point that adultery and homosexuality were equal (and dreadful) sins - it resides in his strengths. The surety of faith, the muscle of a honed storytelling urgency which has led him to write at times as though he genuinely believed that clarity and truth were identical, the bruising triumphalism of sf as a mode of knowing: all have led this extraordinarily talented author to sound, on occasion, as though he thought the fictions he wrote were scooped from the mouth of a higher being'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
