Shadows in Flight

by Orson Scott Card · The Shadow Series series

Bean's brilliant children, exiled in space and aging at a fraction of normal speed, search for a cure to their genetic condition while the world below has moved on. A contemplative finale to the Shadow saga that explores family bonds, mortality, and what it means to be human. Card shifts from military strategy to intimate character study.
