Shadow Of The Giant is the fourth book in the Ender's Shadow series. It continues the story of Bean, and Petra, and Peter, and the other Battle School grads. It wraps up...well, to be honest, not very much of the story. I thought this was the last of the series, but it turns out that there is one more after this. Which makes sense, given that they leave two giant gaping holes in the plot NOT addressed at all. More or less, Earth's battles are mostly resolved in one fashion or another, but there are lurking problems off-planet that are alluded to in a very foreshadowing manner.
It's a good story, but to be honest, I got bored of the politics. The Shadow series, after the first book, turns into a political war drama book series, whereas I wanted sci fi, because politics isn't my cup of tea anyway. I didn't read this book in a very condensed or even cohesive fashion, but I'm sure it would be an okay/good read for those who are more interested in this type of thing.
