Summary
It came near to destroying humanity.
After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies and teaching robots and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason Worthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried.
Orson Scott Card is "a master of the art of storytelling" (Booklist), and The Worthing Saga is a story that only he could have written.

An excellent epic story

Brutally captivating
I read this book in my younger years but didn't get much from it but reading it now it is the most amazing story I have ever listened to. it filled me with lots of emotions, surprised me with every chapter and I was totally hypnotized by the beauty of the story telling. it tells the tales of the best and worst of us all. Best stories I ever heard

Fantastic Read. Would Highly Recommend
The Worthing Saga is a highly original book. The Saga is split into two main parts. The first part take up two thirds of the saga length and is the main story. The last third is a collection of short stories covering interesting key people not full explored in the main story.
Orson Scott Card once again draws you in with a highly original captive story that follows the life of a unique individual from his troubled child-hood through to his part in the down fall and recreation of the galaxy. The narrative is well done and certainly adds to the story.
I listened to this book on a traveling holiday and found myself waiting to get back on the road so i could find out what happens next. It is a must listen for any Sci-Fi fan.

It has everything in it old time futuristic spiritual technology spaceships wooden boats mystery gods and creepy children
And lastly the reason I chose the book all those years ago and discovered Orson Scott card it has Worthing! Not the seaside town in Sussex but pick up the book it kinda explains..

Too much unexplained magic for sci fi
Why go to the trouble of having realistic slow space travel if you're also going to throw in mental telepathy and telekinesis?
Some interesting plot lines including an exploration of how something like cryogenic sleep might impact a society and how it can be used to build one. But the magical elements demean it.
