Orson Scott Card's Ender Series

I've just finished reading....

Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind

Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant

All by Orson Scott Card, and all extremely interesting books. They were all based in the future, but they all contained the type of truthfulness that was similar to the Da Vinci Code, except Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, they were both completely and totally fiction.

The first group deals a lot about religion, in a sense. In Xenocide, there's a very deep discussion about the soul and other such things. Very scientific, or scientific-sounding, and so it seems believable. I think I do believe some of it, on some level, just as a lot of people believed the Da Vinci Code on some level.

The second group deals with politics, maneuver, war, and cool intellect. It's basically about the world uniting under one government (not American). It's really impressive, how the author seems to stay impartial and historically accurate, if a little anti-American and European, but even the negative remarks have a bitter truthfulness that can't be ignored. Even though America does have a government that works, forcing other countries to follow in our footsteps really builds resentment, and we probably should close our borders and focus on making money. Or, at least that's what the books make you think, who knows? All I know is, these books are awesome! Read them! I can almost guarantee that some of the books will change the way you think about the world!
