Shadows in Flight
Shadows in Flight—the long anticipated sequel to Orson Scott Card’s New York Times bestselling Shadow of a Giant—begins an all-new storyarc linking the Shadow series back into the main Ender series timeline.
At the end of Giant, Bean fled to the stars with three of his children—the three who share the engineered genes that gave him both hyper-intelligence and a short, cruel physical life. The time dilation granted by the speed of their travel was to give Earth’s scientists generations to seek a cure for the syndrome. But now, just over five years have passed on Herodotus—421 years on Earth—and there has been no cure. The voyagers, the sole bearers of the modification known as Anton’s Key, are forgotten, a fading ansible signal speaking of events lost to Earth’s history. But the Delphiki children are about to make a discovery that may let them save themselves, and perhaps all of humanity in days to come.
For there in space before them lies a derelict Formic colony ship. Aboard it, they will find both death and wonders—the life support that is failing on their own ship, room to grow, and labs in which to explore their own genetic anomaly and the mysterious disease that killed the ship’s colony.
