A brilliant conclusion to the initial saga of Ender. This book does not focus specifically on Ender, but more on all the characters involved in the fates of Lusitania, and most often on Jane, the computer based being who's life is threatened by the imminent shut down of all computer connections as ordered by the Starways Congress.

While overall this book is slower paced, there are still moments of frantic page turning. The story is beautifully written, the characters deep and believable, everything you've come to expect of an Ender novel. If you've enjoyed the Ender's Game series, you won't be disappointed here, and if you haven't yet read these books, you'd do well to pick them up!
