    The 4th one is no way weak Trojan and it ties everything up nicely so u gotta read it. OSC has a new one out called Enders Shadow which is basically Enders game written from Bean's point of view. Sounds a bit urghh, but reviews are excellent.

    The criticisms I've heard of #4 is that Jane is capable of solving all the problems which arise and sorts everything out, which would tend to be a bit boring! smile.gif

    That book sounds interesting, how much of the story does he tell? Does he go from Bean going to battle sch. up to the end of the invasion of the planetoid thingy by the Russians, or further on than that?
