"Shadow of the Hegemon" by Orson Scott Card

I realize it is odd to review the 6th book in a series because at that point, you are either going to read it or you are not. But, I am going to use this blog to keep track of everything that I read for a while so I will be a completest. Sam and I just discovered last night that OSC is writing an 8th book in the series and so we may be reading these forever.

I'll give you a brief summary of our story so far. In Haiku. Spoilers sort of follow.

Ender's Game
Ender is way smart.
He is just a little kid.
Saves the human race.

Speaker for the Dead
Skip 3000 years.
Ender has aged a little.
Relativity.

Alien piggies.
Why did they kill a human?
What's the deal with trees?


Ya know, I am already bored with this. Maybe a limerick?

Xenocide
There once was a disease called descolada
That was no normal bug, but was smarta
On the way is a fleet
Let's hope Jane can't be beat
-- OK. I got nothing for a fifth line.

So, yeah. "SotH" is a sequel to "Ender's Game" about Bean and Petra and Ender's brother Peter. That's all you need to know.
