Ender's Game Hi, thanks for visiting this page. The content is the awesome Orson Scott Card written Ender's Game. Enjoy.
Check developments on the Ender's Game Movie.
There have been seven books in the Ender's Game series so far, all written by Orson Scott Card.
The quality drops off dramatically from here on in, however, and only loyalty to Ender
keeps one reading.
The next in the series is Speaker for the Dead, set even further (thousands of years in fact) in the future than
Ender's Game. Ender has become an anonymous entity, a speaker for the dead, who travels from planet to planet,
giving people epitaphs. Cunningly hidden is a love story and a huge ram rod of political correctness but it's passable, if totally incomparable with Ender's Game. Xenocide is a continuation of the storyline set in Speaker for the Dead, though Ender is now much older.
Where Ender's Game was a psychological, action-packed thriller, Xenocide is a mind-numbing
advanced quantum physics textbook...
A more recent series has recaptured the imagination though, however blasphemous it may well be. The third book in the "Shadow" series, entitled "Shadow Puppets" was released in hardback on August 19th 2002. The first chapter involves Bean. So do a substantial number of chapters from then on. In fact, it's one of the worst books I've ever suffered and I've lost faith in Orson Scott Card. The series is not yet complete, and future expected titles may include Shadow of the Giant, Shadow of War, and Shadow of Death (or Shadow of the Valley of Death, depending on how OSC feels). In any case, you're now expected to go and read all seven books, no matter how much I've put you off! |
