...which is the "correct" version, "Worthing Saga" or "Worthing Chronicles"?

The Worthing Saga is a book, Chronicles the complete (err, incomplete) works.

Hmmm, still not sure. You see, I have two books in my possession, "The Worthing Saga" and "The Worthing Chronicles". I think they are both the same basic story, but one is "the way it is supposed to be" and the other isn't. I am not sure which I should read.

Hmmm, I am getting some different info now. Maybe just publication dates? Newer stories in Saga?

*goes to find her copy*

According to this site:

Hot Sleep (1979) with Orson Scott Card

Capitol (1979) with Orson Scott Card

The Worthing Chronicle (1983) with Orson Scott Card

The Worthing Saga (1990) [C] with Orson Scott Card

Personally, I read Worthing Saga and loved it. I think it is a compilation of the best stories in Worthing Chronicle and Worthing Saga.

Read both (better yet, all four of the related books). [Smile] In publication order -- it's fascinating to see what changed.

I have and have read all four. Worthing Saga is what is the more popular, I like them all. I like to read both Treason and A Planet Called Treason. I think the differences are interesting.
