What this book is about
The fourth Ender Saga novel finds Andrew Wiggin dying as his two mental constructs — Jane, the AI, and two new personalities built from his memories — must complete the desperate mission to save Lusitania from the Starways Congress fleet while Jane's existence hangs in the balance. Card's philosophical science fiction continues its examination of consciousness, identity, and what survives death, with a conclusion to Ender's arc that prioritizes ideas over action.
