Bean stole away from the wars of Earth with three of his children-the three who share his genetic mutation that gives brilliance and a short life. A ship to the stars will give them a chance-a chance for the scientists of Earth to find a treatment, if not for him, then for his children. As long decades on Earth flash by in a moment on their near-lightspeed ship, they flee into the future.
The three, Ender, Carlotta, and Sergeant, work to learn enough to help in the effort. But Earth holds no minds more brilliant then those of Bean and his children, and there is no cure. As the generations pass, there comes a time when no one on Earth remebers them, save as a voice on the ansible, a distant whisper from the stars.
And then their ship's life support begins to fail, and Bean's children must save themselves.

This book seems interesting. How far have you gotten into it? If you have began reading it, have you enjoyed the plot's set up?
ReplyDeleteI am only to the second chapter so far. Yes i have enjoyed the plot. It is a little bit confusing because I haven't read the previous books so far, but it's still good.
DeleteDid you like the way this book writes from the point of view of nonhuman characters?
ReplyDeleteI do, I don't usually read books like this so it's certainly different.
DeleteDo you like the writing of the mini war between the siblings?
Deletewhat is this book abot is it any goos
DeleteIt’s ok. I don’t usually read this sort of stuff, so I’m not really used to this. But, the funny thing is that, if I were to have to side, I would probably have to side with Ender. I don’t particularly like Ender, but I do know that I HATE Sergeant.
DeleteHave you read any other Enderverse books? I know this book is the worst at standing alone.
DeleteNo i have not...are they good? My dad has Ender's game which I am going to start reading soon.
DeleteI don't have an opinion on where I am right now…I don't like it but I like it, ya know? I have come to the conclusion that my favorite character is Carlotta. I don't know why, I just like her better then the other characters.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part in the book is when Bean breaks Sergeant down. He just says a series of stuff proving the Sergeant is…useless? Bean proves that Carlotta and Ender are actually helpful, while Sergeant is this according to Bean, “But you, Cincinnatus Delphiki, are a drain of our resources, producing nothing of value and disrupting the functioning of everyone else. Not to mention criminal conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.”
