Empire, Orson Scott Card
This one is a controversial political thriller. Many Card fans don't appreciate what they call "editorializing": basically, Card lets his opinion seep into his fiction. And since he and I agree on many things, I think I'll like this one. It's a near-future novel about terrorism on American soil. I read the first five chapters online this afternoon and I am highly intrigued.

Invasive Procedures, Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston
This one is a medical thriller a la Crichton, if I got the gist right from the endpapers. It's about a religious group which uses genetic alteration to heal diseases like Parkinson's and create genetically enhanced, mind-controlled followers. Since I love the way Card writes, I'm looking forward to this one, too.
