107. New “Ender in Exile” by Orson Scott Card

Sorry for the off-topic but I am actually a HUGE fun of the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. I think I’ve read the original “The Ender’s game” around 2000 and
Card immediately acquired another infinitely faithful worshipper – every single book in the series was bought afterwords, with some disappointments, but without second thought – once I saw his new book in a book store, I grabbed it. Who knows why? Maybe because teaching philosophy in the Space Academia was remarkably similar to the way boys are taught in Eton nowadays ( and the way we were taught at Landau Institute) How Card presented the Ender’s and Peter’s life (I never actually had any warm feelings to Valentine), how he explained what is essential and what is important in this life, what problems one may expect once globally accepted as Military Genius – all this entered so strongly into the resonance with my cognitive model, that I was first astounded, second ashamed of myself, and third – got filled with energy

But anyway… enough sentiments. I am glad to announce that Orson Scott Card has just released a new book in the Ender’s series! Have you ever wanted to learn what happened with teen Ender Wiggin after he left the Earth and how was he dealing with the Xenocide responsibility and the guilt in the death of Bonzo and Stilson while he still was so young? Do you want to know how did young Peter Wiggin evolve into the Hegemon of the Earth?… How did Valentine manage to reconcile her sacrifice of her own life to help the Ender to carry his burden?… What happened to other team members of the Ender’s “jeesh”? I know – if you love Card’s intelligent prose, you cannot help taking a look to the new “Ender in Exile“. And let me assure you, while “Xenocide” and Shadow series both were somewhat weaker than the two original novels, Orson Scott Card is back in all his shining power
