The later books get fucking wild. Peter Wiggin's soul manifests inside a eugenics-bred polymath when he gets moved into the ftl dimension of conceptual hypersoul beings. Bean has children who all have his gigantism mutation but they find a cure by working with queen less formics on a slow ark ship, btw formics are mental slaves to the queens because they're otherwise independent creatures, there's a buck wild interstellar virus that obliterates biospheres if you get it but it's actually a mutation of a biological archival instrument made by god knows who, there's human-intellect ravens on a planet with the morlocks and eloi from The Time Machine and by the way God exists and she lives on the interplanetary internet
I dropped the Bean thrillers in revulsion after Ender's mum gives an Author Filibuster to Petra about how being a broodmare is the only TRUE happiness.
I was far from a leftist at the time, but it was both ham handed and completely out of place with the characterization established in Ender's game.
When I came back to them years later because :treats: she then spends the rest of the series as the Damsel.
I need to read less :lmayo: authors who would be better off spending their publishing checks on therapy.
I only read a couple books in the Bean Dad series, seemed like the whole series was focused on the wrong thing. Why is the story about the super genius sociopath who manipulated the opinions of the entire world via the internet in order to lead a series of armed uprisings that will eventually merge into one world government the side story to a plot about a bunch of embryos?
I'm pretty sure Card wrote a Peter series at some point. There's a full on Ender Literary Universe at this point since it's a cash cow. He just doesn't usually continue the mainline Ender plot any more. Plenty of stuff between the xenocide and the end of Ender's story.
I stopped reading after they encountered the alien species that communicates through scents (iirc), I should pick up the series again that stuff sounds nuts.
