Ender in Exile
The Ender Series seems to never end. Holes are filled, stories are retold from different perspectives and characters are enhanced. I’m fine with this so long as Orson Scott Card doesn’t invite anyone to write the books similar to Tom Clancy.
In Ender in Exile, Card fills the gap between Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead well. As he acknowledges, this is not the story that he necessarily set out to write, but it turned out well.
Ender continues his journey into space to become the Speaker for the Dead. He weaves the story with twists and turns – sometimes a little outlandishly. Along with continuing the story and filling the gaps, Ender overcomes new obstacles that point to future developments. Overall the book is classic Card. The story is captivating and the characters are developed. If you hunger for more Ender, pick up Ender in Exile.
