Comment: Mediocre Sci-Fi at best, but intellectually stimulating. Not too drawn out or too short. Just right.

Summary: Card RULES!
Comment: In this novel the author, Orson Scott Card, focuses on secondary characters from ENDER'S GAME.
Peter Wiggin (a.k.a. the Hegemon, among other alias names), Julian Delphiki (a.k.a. "Bean"), and Petra Arkanian must deal with Achilles de Flandres. Achilles, if you recall from the previous books, was a genius. Mentally, however, he was very unstable. He wanted nothing more than the deaths of Peter, Bean, and Petra. Second on Achilles's list of things-to-do was to conquer all, starting with the Hegemony!
Suriyawong, Virlomi, Hyrum Graff, and Volescu appear as secondary characters. They were not just for show or used as "fillers" though. Each had vital roles in the book and possibly in the next. (My hope springs eternal.)
***** If you have not read the previous books, I highly recommend that you begin at the beginning, with ENDER'S GAME. Not only because all in this series is fantastic, but also because you when previous characters or events are mentioned, you would totally understand the reference and feel more a part of Card's vast universe. This author does not insult the intelligence of his readers; therefore, he will not go into deep detail on past events. He just mentions a person or event and carries on with the current story. I love that in an author!
Orson Scott Card made a fan of me with ENDER'S GAME. Of course, since I enjoyed it so much, I handed it over to my husband and the "Ender's Bug" (as I call it) bit him too. Card quickly made his way from my list of "Good Authors", to my list of "Favorite Authors", and currently resides on my "Elite List" which contains only four names (and one of them are deceased). I tell you that so you may understand that I do NOT consider myself to be overly dramatic when I say, "If you love Sci-Fi, you MUST read this series!"
Orson Scott Card rules the Sci-Fi universe! *****

Summary: Shadow Puppets
Comment: Shadow Puppets is the third book in the parallel series to Ender's Game. It is a book about the struggles of the Battle School Graduates to maintain world order and stop Achilles from conquering the world. Petra and Bean have come out of hiding and plan on having a kid without Anton's key. Except Achilles has stolen the embryos. This book is about how Bean, Petra, Peter and the rest of Ender's Dragon Army take their places in world government. In my opinion this book is not as good and Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow. It is much slower paced and did not hold me as tight as the previous books. It is still full of Card's moral dilemmas and ethical problems. It is a nice addition to the series and any hardcore fan of the series would have to read it. This book is for the slightly more advance readers and juggles several plots at once. A reader who enjoys higher thinking about ethics and morality would probably enjoy this book if he or she has read the preceding books.
