WHEN IS THIS GUNNA HAPPEN?? Im sorry. im just a student teacher who would love for something great to read while students have silent reading. I love your EnderVerse, and Magic Street was great.
Peace.

Dear Jonathan,

Thanks for your letter. I wish I could answer your question, but even OSC doesn't know that yet! He has so many other projects that he's working with looming deadlines. He just has to take them one day at a time.

Sorry!

Sincerely,

Kathleen Bellamy
Assistant to OSC


the world will just have to wait.

I just read Shadow of the Giant on Tuesday.

Is the descolada the cure for Bean? I feel like a big fat idiot for not putting the pieces together until now, but was that always the intention? Is that what OSC was always driving towards? If so, isn't Jane the only one who knows he's even out there flying around? How much time has he even been in space with relativity?

Will Jane call him back? Will he be cured? What are the reprecussions? This is why I need to read things sooner.

Booz,
You should have joined Hatrack earlier. OSC sent us all copies of this book as Christmas presents last year.

Apparently, it's been written for some time now, but the publishers are holding it back in order to catch a predicted "Space travelling child geniuses" fad in the latter part of this decade, when, in a joint project, the U.S. and Russia are planning to send a dozen child prodigies to the moon. Unfortunately, this project keeps getting pushed back (and there are some worrying that, by the time it goes off, we'll be talking more about teenaged geniuses) so we're going to have to wait for the official release of "Ender's Dinner with Andre the Giant" until then.

Is he? IS he?

It's okay with me if he is, but wasn't there talk on the other side about this book happening?

*spoilers for Shadow of the Hegemon*

Bean was supposed to die in SotH. He didna, but I'm pretty sure OSC has made it clear he's going real quick in the Shadows in Flight book.

It's not completely clear that they (or at least some of them) would want to be. It's entirely likely that they are going to be smarter and less human than Bean was.
