Bean, once the smallest student at the Battle School, and Ender Wiggins's right hand, has grown to be a power on Earth. He served the Hegemon as strategist and general in the terrible wars that followed Ender's defeat of the alien empire attacking Earth. Now he wishes for a safe place to build a family - something he has never known - but there is nowhere on Earth that does not harbor his enemies: old enemies from the days in Ender's Jeesh, new enemies from the wars on Earth. To find security, Bean and Petra must once again follow in Ender's footsteps. They must leave Earth behind, in the control of the Hegemon, and look to the stars.
Bean was essential to the success of Ender in ENDER'S GAME. Now he is one of the few who has not acquired a powerful position, and his job requires him to keep the greed and ambition of others in check. The professional cast of narrators gives a spirited and dynamic reading of this science fiction series. Their individual styles are complementary, and the story passes among them seamlessly. They quickly become associated with the main characters, aiding the listener in following the threads of the plot. The only cast members identified by name are David Birney and Scott Brick, although others will be familiar voices to audiobook aficionados.
