The fourth book in the Bean Saga, this one follows Bean and his wife, Petra as they attempt to find all their missing embryos, which have been implanted into surrogate mothers. It also follows Peter Wiggin's mission to unite a world at war.

Utilizing little description and still forming a rich picture. Also, the military strategy is brilliant and engaging.

Peter. He is seen in a whole different light than he was in the Ender Saga, and it's a light I suspected. Peter is my favorite kind of character -- misunderstood, with the most important people in his life never realizing he was misunderstood.

Read more, see more, know more. Or discuss it with someone else. There's one definite clue that there should have been another book after this, but because there's not, I have to wonder if I missed something in the Ender Saga or in one of Card's other books. Or if I'm just supposed to wonder.

Is one of my favorites. I love his simple style and his characters are so simple yet so deep that they come off more human than most real people I know.
