Summary
Ender’s Shadow explores the stars in this all-new
novel...
At the end of
Shadow of the Giant, Bean flees to the stars with
three of his children - the three who share the engineered
genes that gave him both hyper-intelligence and a short,
cruel physical life. The time dilation granted by the speed
of their travel gives Earth’s scientists generations to
seek a cure, to no avail. In time, they are forgotten - a
fading ansible signal speaking of events lost to
Earth’s history. But the Delphikis are about to make a
discovery that will let them save themselves, and perhaps all
of humanity in days to come.
For there in space before them lies a derelict Formic
colony ship. Aboard it, they will find both death and wonders
- the life support that is failing on their own ship, room to
grow, and labs in which to explore their own genetic anomaly
and the mysterious disease that killed the ship’s
colony.
