While I enjoyed the interspecial relationships and moral dillemas inherent in the Speaker series, I am more drawn to political thrillers, so the Shadow series stood out more for me. I really enjoyed the use of Achilles as the villain, although I think he could have used some more flaws. It seems tha...

I first discovered EG by way of Audiobook at Air Cadet training in 2003. I heard the story from about the point where Ender is transferred into Rose de Nose's army. It immediately intrigued me, especially when he took command of the new Dragon Army because on my course I was in Dragonfly flight and ...

Ender fights to win completely, to obliterate the threat; Bean fights to kill, but only in pursuit of the prize. Bean knows exactly what he is after and does what is necessary to procure it, only displacing the obstacles directly in front of him. Ender sees the end but knows that the end is only com...

Maybe the Church should allow priests to marry. They may change their stance when it's their own wives and daughters being raped. Last time I checked, 'The Church' who makes the rules, and 'The Church' who follows the rules were two different things. The Magisterium, the principal dogmatic authorit...

Bean is a leader, but not the type of leader that should rule the world. However, should he ever have risen to power, he would likely be an efficient leader. He is the smartest person in the world at that time, and leagues more intelligent than the next person down. There is no way he would not know...
