I read Ender's Shadow in prepub copy, (it's good to have friends in bookstores) and in it, OSC said he intended to write yet another parallel novel based on Peter. I just hope it's better than this one - Shadow had way too much parallelism between Bean's story and Ender's, far beyond what was necessary to unify it with Ender's Game. I really liked the first bit, with Bean on the streets, but once they got to Battle School it kinda fell flat.

Unfortunately, Card's got too many little guys beating Goliaths at once now. If CNN is right and this thing wins the Hugo & Nebula, I'll be disappointed, cause there are much better books out there.
