Pathfinder, by Orson Scott Card

Science fiction bordering on fantasy. The concept is very unique, and is what makes the book such an interesting read. It’s about three characters who all have unique abilities–not as

Take Game of Thrones and move it to outer space, and you’ve got this novel. Not that Martin can only write one type of novel–it works very well, and Mr.
Agent to the Stars, by John Scalzi
