Similar to the sequels to Ender's game, this is much slower book involved with taking the power on Earth after Formic wars. And though it provides interesting setting for all the Battle school children, it is rather simplified to duel between Bean and Achilles. Also, there is rather unconvincing tra...

back in '97 or thereabouts a friend mentioned that Orson Scott Card had followed Ender's Game with two sequels. I was vaguely aware of this fact. the friend said, "together many the two books, or was it three?, are worth the original Ender's Game." before reading any of the sequels, my response was ...

Audio, unabridged. This one was a little too dry for me in its repeated analysis of various imaginary political scenarios, and the principal villain seemed less real in this book than the last.
