Summary

Orson Scott Card returns to his best-selling series with a new Ender novel, Ender in Exile.

At the close of Ender's Game, Andrew Wiggin - called Ender by everyone - is told that he can no longer live on Earth, and he realizes that this is the truth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: he is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony. He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony's training facilities, but instead the 12-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies. With him went his sister Valentine, and the core of the artificial intelligence that would become Jane.

The story of those years has never been told...until now.

The final chapter

If like me you have read all the books in this series from Enders Game, through to children of the mind then you will be left wondering about the years between the finish of his military career and where he goes after being exiled! Well this book pulls all this information together nicely... I have enjoyed listening to all the books and all have made the hours pass with a want to listen more!

Orson Scott Card has certainly looked into these to flow and where there are differences in the stories, this final book pulls and irons them out. Read them all.

If you read these, the film Endors Game although good will seem a little left short, but don't be put off Harrison Ford as Hiram and Ben Kingsley sad Razor are excellently portrayed and adopt the characters well.

Great start, middle but mediocre end

Really enjoyed the book but it cascaded once Ender left the colony. Everything up until then was interesting. The main narrator for the last few chapters was odd. I didn't like his portrayal of Acheel. Grafts ending was sadly pathetic. I think he deserved more than a lonely end to his life. But I guess, it's how life is. Not sure what happened to Mazza & Cell although I might of missed something. But overall, a good book, good listen and a must for the Ender Universe.

So glad to find OSC. Storyteller Extraordinaire!

As I read through the series I am more and more captured by the characters and the themes running through the stories, human frailties and strengths, challenging me with my own perceptions, expanding my sense of more than Earth as a place to exist.
I didn't realize I could be so enthralled by science fiction.

Ender in Exile

Excellent ensemble performance from the narration team as with the other unabridged books from the series. The story itself is more like an amalgamation of three short stories, but all the characters are as fully formed and as easy to empathise with as you would expect from Scott-Card. It is an entertaining addition to the Enderverse although the constant references to 'Bean' feel clumsy and the revisionist aspects may distract some from the deeper novels of the author. Overall, an enjoyable listen and a must for those who have a hunger for more from the empathic lead, Ender, and his sister Valentine. 4 Stars.
