In this book, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, is in his 60s, though it has been about 3,000 years since he wiped out the "buggers" in a war he didn't even know he was fighting. He lives on the planet Lusitania and is married to Novinha and is step-father to several adult children. Valentine, Ender's sister, comes to Lusitania too, along with her husband and children.
Congress has sent a fleet of ships to destroy the planet and Ender, Valentine and others are trying to stop them.
A concurrent story in the book takes place on the planet Path. The stories intersect and while the plot line on Path is resolved, the one happening on Lusitania is left with a cliff-hanger that the book "The Children of the Mind" will resolve.
This is a great science fiction series with lots of deep moral undertones. I will continue on to the next book in the series, though I have a few other books to read before I start on the next Ender saga.
