Children of the Fleet
Children of the Fleet | Orson Scott Card
7 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
From Orson Scott Card, award-winning and bestselling author of Ender's Game, his first solo Enderverse novel in years. Children of the Fleet is a new angle on Cards bestselling series, telling the story of the Fleet in space, parallel to the story on Earth told in the Enders Shadow series. Ender Wiggin won the Third Formic war, ending the alien threat to Earth. Afterwards, all the terraformed Formic worlds were open to settlement by humans, and the International Fleet became the arm of the Ministry of Colonization, run by Hirum Graff. MinCol now runs Fleet School on the old Battle School station, and still recruits very smart kids to train as leaders of colony ships, and colonies. Dabeet Ochoa is a very smart kid. Top of his class in every school. But he doesnt think he has a chance at Fleet School, because he has no connections to the Fleet. That he knows of. At least until the day that Colonel Graff arrives at his school for an interview.

Just couldn‘t do it. I lost interest very quickly. It didn‘t evoke the same emotion or develop the same connection as the Ender series.

RamsFan1963 Card has stretched this story out about as far as he can, now it's just diminishing returns with each new one. 5y

Not the best book in the saga but it ended well.

Excited to be returning to the Fleet.

KathyWheeler I‘ve only read two of these books — Ender‘s Game and Ender‘s Shadow — which I loved. I need to read the rest. 5y

All this talk of off-planet sci-fi made me want to share the lovely Ender‘s Game patch I got at New York Comic Con ☺️❤️ Card was *everything to me for the years after I discovered him as a teen and I‘m curious to find out what I‘ll think of the latest as an adult!

DivaDiane Huh. I hadn‘t heard about this one. But to be honest, I don‘t think I want to read anymore of his work, although I adore Ender‘s Game and the rest of the original series. (edited) 6y
