The novel was originally set to be titled Shadows in Flight, but Card decided to swap titles with the fifth book in the Shadow series (released on 17 January 2012), which serves as a bridge to the final book. Ĭard has said that he began writing the first pages of the novel while quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic. The events in the book follow those in Children of the Mind, the final book in the Ender series. This book brings the two series back together, and wraps up some of the plot threads left dangling in Shadow of the Giant (the fourth book in the Shadow Saga). It links the Shadow Saga (the parallel companion series) back to the original Ender series. High quality work all around.The Last Shadow is a 2021 science fiction novel by American writer Orson Scott Card, part of his Ender's Game series. Light touches of music and special effects for the aliens blend seamlessly into the flow of the production. These weighty topics could easily sound corny in less skilled hands, but the text is saved by the honest and emotional narration by Gabrielle De Cuir, John Rubinstein, Stefan Rudnicki, Scott Brick, Amanda Karr and David Birney. Is philosophical about the purpose and meaning of intelligent life, the interconnectedness of all things and the power of love.
They rush to colonize new worlds, to save two intelligent species from extinction, to try to stop the fleet, to find the creators of the Descolada virus (a threat to all living things) and to find a way for the computer entity Jane-whose faster-than-light travel makes all the other goals possible-to survive shutting down the network that sustains her. The fleet sent to destroy Lusitania is about to arrive and all the planet's denizens are scrambling. Every narrator conveys his or her character's personality with nuance and realism.
Nothing mars this straightforward, solid production of the final book in Card's Ender series.
