Is it possible that the world of genius's in the Xenocide and Children of the Mind are actually the descendents of Beans stolen child?

Do you mean Path? If so, I seriously doubt it. anyway, none of them are dying at age twenty of giant-ness. so yeah, doubt it. And Bean wasn't of Asian descent and neither was Petra. Or Randi, I believe.

o yeah. i forgot. Well, that certainly opens the topic up. Did HS(hot soup) have any OCD like tendancies? in the battle school it didn't seem like it. HS seemed pretty calm.
But I'm warming up to this idea. Posts: 37 | Registered: Jan 2006

Remember that the OCD gene was ingenered to inslave the world of Path, they did not naturally inherit it.

I got yelled at for spoilers, so there may be spoilers ahead if you are several years behind. Go away if you don't want to be spoiled.
Path was, IIRC, a second wave colony that was settled from a planet (or planets) that had been settled from Earth. I believe this was mentioned with regards to the planet's charter, when Gloriously Bright was about to tell the Congress about Jane. It's been a while, I'll have to read up. But I think the upshot was that Path was a second wave colony like Luisitania.
Just not named for a sunken ship.
Also, Jane pretty much says that the OCD isn't natural, but man-made, and was created by the Starways Congress.

That doesn't mean they couldn't of used the descendents of the battle schoolers as a base platform for this world.

yeah; battle school descendents would sort of make sense in an ironic sort of way. I dunno; maybe I just like to link things together .

Well the battle schoolers were some of the brightest minds of their time, after all in the Shadow books many of them did end up in control of their home countries.

Well, there is such a thing as 'economy of charactors' which means in any story all of the significant events in a population of several billion (or trillion, or a hundred gazillion) are going to involve the same 10 or fewer people. I think it's unavoidable in fiction.
