Explanation Toward Books Earthborn (Homecoming Saga #5)

High above the earth orbits the starship Basilica. On board the huge vessel is a sleeping woman. Of those who made the journey, Shedemai alone has survived the hundred of years since the Children of Wetchik returned to Earth. She now wears the Cloak of the Starmaster, and the Oversoul wakes her sometimes to watch over her descendants on the planet below. The population has grown rapidly--there are cities and nations now, whole peoples descended from the who followed Nafai or Elemak. But in all the long years of watching and searching, the Oversoul has not found the thing it sought. It has not found the Keeper of the Earth, the central intelligence that also can repair the Oversoul's damaged programming.

Discuss About Books Earthborn (Homecoming Saga #5)
I read the first chapter and gave up. For me it isn't really part of the homecoming Saga, only one character left and it's not the main protagonist followed since book 1. The ridiculously complicated naming conventions require 4 pages of explanatory notes, are an exercise for linguists that make it hard to read.

I felt Card had literally lost the plot by this point! According to the first books in the series, the mighty computer that has kept the planet Harmony harmonious for millions of years (the 'Oversoul') is now beginning to run down. Because it has achieved this by limiting technology, there is no technology on Harmony advanced enough to fix it, so it sends a party back to Earth, where it had originally come from, for fresh instructions.By the time the party reach Earth, though, they have

Ok, I have run across a few series that do this to kind of wrap things up. They have a time shift, sometimes large, that for the most part, introduces all new characters and few if any of the original characters. That totally takes you out of the rhythm of the story, especially if it's a series and you have a vested interest in the characters you have read for the last 2 or 3 or 5 books. That's where I found myself with Earthborn, and if I based my rating strictly on that, I would probably give

Im really glad I read reviews of this book before I started it. After the horrible disappointment of Crystal City (Cards depressingly anti-climatic conclusion to his otherwise enjoyable Alvin Maker series) I was nervous about finishing this series, but the all the negative reviews prepared me for the worst. Yes, this book jumps way into the future leaving all the characters youve grown to know after four books behind, however the new characters and plot lines are far more interesting IMO.

If you ever need an example of what a series looks like when it runs out of gas and sputters and dies, this book exemplifies that scenario. I came away mostly disappointed.Essentially, the book details the lives of two groups of people. They arrived on Earth hoping they could help their onboard computer correct its programming. The group split in two shortly after their arrival. As book five opens, they have been on earth for something close to five centuries. The people discovered two other

I found the implication that people cant stay true to their values without regular doses of revelation disappointing.
