Everyone is taking the tie-in book for granted, but I'm not. Don't get me wrong or anything--I LOVE the Shadow series and the character development of the real Peter, but only because I'm sifting through the pages out of nostalgia for the former Speaker series. I loved those books, and I zealously wait for the tie-in, but what will happen if they decide not to do it at all?
Will I imagine out absurd scenarios in my pithy little mind? Probably. Will they be of the quality of this ramble? Probably.

What will happen? Probably nothing. People would be disappointed, sure, but we'd be conforted by whatever books were written in its place. Though I still think it will be written eventually. It's a great concept that I'm eager to read.

I know that this topic's been tried and trite, but I had to say something about it when I realized that the Ender and Shadow series were my favorite books in the world.

The "tie-in book" refers to a possible book that Card hopes to write that will tie the Shadow Books and the Speaker Books together in one saga.
At the end of Ender's Gamewe are told that Peter, Hegemon of Earth, when dying in old age, asks his brother, Ender, to write a book to Speak for him, telling all his good and bad, just as Ender did for the Hive Queen. Presumably, this is one of the things that will happen in it.

Didn't OSC say it would have something to do with Bean's Children and the Lusitanians/Descoladores? Not as much a 'bridge' book, but a final, EnderVerse capping conclusion

Or at least that's what's been hinted at, and as I recall at one of the signings (or maybe it was all the way back at EnderCon, I can't remember now) he said that's what he wanted to do with it. I suppose it could've changed in that (rather significant) period of time but that's what I've heard.
