About this listen

Orson Scott Card returns to his best-selling series with a new Ender novel, Ender in Exile.

At the close of Ender's Game, Andrew Wiggin - called Ender by everyone - is told that he can no longer live on Earth, and he realizes that this is the truth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: he is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony. He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony's training facilities, but instead the 12-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies. With him went his sister Valentine, and the core of the artificial intelligence that would become Jane.

The story of those years has never been told...until now.

Ender in Exile feels a bit slow at times. Much of it takes place in cramped settings and leans heavily on shallow relationship drama instead of fresh ideas.

The setup suggests filling in what happened after Ender’s victory, but it often comes off as routine chats on a ship. The sci-fi backdrop is mostly just scenery—there aren’t many surprising tech or philosophical twists.

You get the odd time jump, but it doesn’t really shake things up. Instead it circles back to more introspection about assigned roles and surface-level conflicts. Some of the monologues on duty or identity end up feeling like padding rather than adding depth.

If you just want more moments with familiar characters, there’s some appeal. But if you’re after a bigger expansion of the universe or let alone a more engaging story, This isn't it.

Hours of suffering
