Shadows in Flight Shadows in Flight

Publisher Description

Ender's Shadow explores the stars in this all-new novel...

At the end of Shadow of the Giant, Bean flees to the stars with three of his children--the three who share the engineered genes that gave him both hyper-intelligence and a short, cruel physical life. The time dilation granted by the speed of their travel gives Earth's scientists generations to seek a cure, to no avail. In time, they are forgotten--a fading ansible signal speaking of events lost to Earth's history. But the Delphikis are about to make a discovery that will let them save themselves, and perhaps all of humanity in days to come.

For there in space before them lies a derelict Formic colony ship. Aboard it, they will find both death and wonders--the life support that is failing on their own ship, room to grow, and labs in which to explore their own genetic anomaly and the mysterious disease that killed the ship's colony.

Shadows in Flight is the fifth novel in Orson Scott Card's Shadow Series.

Leaves you needing more...

I would rate every Orson Scott Card "Enderverse" book 5 stars without hesitation, but this one. It felt incomplete. It had all the makings for more...the life of Bean, the life of the children, and what happens just in a few more years. While its prime for a sequel (and it better be epic if I know what it could be), it just didn't match the depth and length of a normal OSC book...almost like a slightly longer short story. As a reader who has read all of these books and has come to realize these characters as friends, it was always sad to say goodbye to a series, but it was painfully obvious the series isn't done.

A great read

I loved this book. I'm sad that's short but well worth the read.

Can't wait for the next novel

Starts out wired but ends in a satisfying and sensible way.
