Need help finding a book i read about 18 years ago.

[Krusty]

I think it was a series. in the fist one i do believe that the main character learned to travel threw the earth. i think one of the passages had him on a rock over looking a cliff. when he jumped it would either kill him or accept him
In the second the main character learned how to manipulate time. i do believe they learned this from tribes of people.
Any help or information would be appreciated. i have been trying to remember who and what the title of the book's have been for years.
Krusty

I'm sorry I don't know the book. Welcome to chronicles and hopefully someone else here will recognise your story.

 

[Krusty]

anyone? I would love to read this book again.

I must admit it rings a bell, but I can't quite place it. Perhaps it'll come to me soon; or perhaps one of the more knowledgeable people around here will be able to give you the information.

Either way, welcome to the Chronicles!

This is one of my all time favourite books and certainly my favourite by Orson Scott Card. The book is called Treason or A Planet Called Treason.

It was recently reissued so you should not have any problems finding a copy.

That'd be it... It's been far, far too long since I read the book. Either that, or I've gone completely senile.....

Am going to refrain from saying anything ... and shall just leave now and very quietly shut the door behind me.

 

[Krusty]

Thank you.

 

[Nesacat]

You're more than welcome Krusty. Welcome to the Chronicles and come visit the Tea Room sometime. I hope you manage to get a copy of Treason.

Ah, thank you, Cat... I know I can always count on you for support...
