Orson Scott Card is supposed to be good science fiction writer. Wikipedia says
He's a mormon and political activist; from what I understand, he has annoying politics, but it doesn't show in his novels so it doesn't matter.
I also don't see any mention of Douglas Adams or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've never read the book and get the impression that the writing style could either be good or irritating, and never got sucked into the movie, so *shrug*.
Quote:His novel Ender's Game (1985) and its sequel Speaker for the Dead (1986) both won Hugo[2][3] and Nebula[2][4] Awards, making Card the only author to win both of American science fiction's top prizes in consecutive years.
