The Worthing Chronicle

Orson Scott Card · Ace (New York) · 1983

The US Ace paperback original (1983) is the true first appearance of this revised text. The earlier, differently-narrated version was published as 'Hot Sleep' (Baronet, 1979); the two are separate texts, so 'Hot Sleep' does not precede this book as an edition of the same work.
