Story
alaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

Story
From the author of Ender's Game, the Hugo and Nebula award-winning international best seller, comes the parallel novel, Ender's Shadow. In the first book, child-hero Ender Wiggin battles a deadly alien race and wins. But Ender wasn't the only child in his Battle School. There was also Bean, the one who became Ender's right hand, his strategist, and his friend—the only one who was with him in the final battle. Now Bean's whole story is told.

Story
One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston is the story of the First Formic War. Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn't believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame. And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.

Rigg is well trained at keeping secrets. Only his father knows the truth about Rigg’s strange talent for seeing the paths of people’s pasts. But when his father dies, Rigg is stunned to learn just how many secrets Father had kept from him - secrets about Rigg’s own past, his identity, and his destiny. And when Rigg discovers that he has the power not only to see the past, but also to change it, his future suddenly becomes anything but certain.

Story
Young Alvin was born the seventh son of a seventh son. By his birthright, he possesses magical powers and is destined to become something great, perhaps even a Maker. Indeed, Alvin is special. But the boy remains vulnerable to dark forces who reach out to destroy him and are willing to do anything to keep him from growing up. Carefully weaving the lore and the folk-magic of the men and women who settled a continent—as well as the beliefs of the tribes who were there before them—Orson Scott Card has created a fascinating alternate frontier America.

Story
Ender Wiggin won the Third Formic war, ending the alien threat to Earth. Afterwards, all the terraformed Formic worlds were open to settlement by humans, and the International Fleet became the arm of the Ministry of Colonization, run by Hirum Graff.

Good book
I listened to this book after finishing the speaker for the dead. I enjoyed it. Good story and excellent narration.
My main problem with the story was dealing with the fact that a logical person like Ender believes so deeply in Christianity without questioning anything.

Great philosophical story
Has much more deep philosophical thought than you'd expect from a sci-fi novel. first I struggled to get through the middle of it because I didn't enjoy where I felt the story was going, but the author didn't fail to surprise me in how much depth he'd put into this book. the VA switching felt arbitrary at times and took me out of it for a bit, and think that they might have slightly overacted with Bugger and Chinese parts with the accent.

Racist performance of Chinese characters
I suppose this is a vestige of the past but the performance of the Chinese characters is rather racist and doesn't sit well with me. It does not make sense for all the Chinese characters to speak with (faked, by non-Chinese narrators nonetheless) Chinese accents. Consider Han Feizhi and Qingjao: they are educated in Stark from a young age and exposure to offworld media as often as they are, they should not have any hint of an accent whatsoever. (Or does one imagine that Chinese people who are fluent in their mother tongue cannot also speak English without an accent...) It's barely rational for Wangmu to speak with an accent. If they're conducting their lives with their own language why would there be an accent? As a comparison, the Lusos are not performed with an accent, and they are as fluent in both their mother tongue and Stark as the folks on Path. This whole accent ordeal is incredibly racist and while I understand it might've been """""acceptable""""" at the time of publication it would never stand in 2021..... It mars an otherwise great story and performance. (The Hive Queen is performed really well!!!)

Not my favorite
It's a fine book, I enjoyed it, just not like Enders Game or frankly any of the others. If you want to try this BUT haven't finished his other Ender series, don't start here.
