Summary
The planet Lusitania is home to three sentient species: the Pequeninos, a large colony of humans, and the Hive Queen, who was brought there by Ender Wiggin. But now, once again, the human race has grown fearful; the Starways Congress has gathered a fleet to destroy Lusitania. Ender's oldest friend, Jane, an evolved computer intelligence, can save the three sentient species of Lusitania. She has learned how to move ships outside the universe, and then instantly back to a different world, abolishing the light-speed limit. But it takes all the processing power available to her, and the Starways Congress is shutting down the network of computers in which she lives, world by world.
Soon Jane will not be able to move the ships. Ender's children must save her if they are to save themselves.
Children of the Mind is the fourth book in Orson Scott Card's The Ender Saga.

Children of the Mind
every time OSC adds his comments to an audiobook, he insists thet the best way to experience his books is by listening to them as audiobooks. I read all of The ender series as audiobooks and it was amazing! after awhile the audiobook changes form a book being read to u into a play unfolding in front of you, the actors are not playing ther lines, they are revealing amazing ideas and concepts, and you are literaly being swept away. Thank you OSC for that !

Many deep thoughts provoked by this book.
I loved this book, it was as though I was delving into hidden depths within myself as I listened.
It made me question myself and it at times was like a mirror reflecting behaviour and crystalized beliefs that were then shattered and out of this I feel like I have gained some insight joined some dots and felt very invested in the lives of the characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This story makes up a nice part to the saga, explaining characters and their journeys further as well as give conclusions in a more general sense. it's one for the fans, an enjoyable one for sure

A fitting ending...
Although the concluding book in the series, this was primarily a sequel to the storylines in Xenocide, with both books initially being conceived as one larger book until the story became too long. As such, it was an excellent conclusion which left me wanting to know more of the various characters and their exploits.
As a conclusion to the Ender series as a whole, again, it tied up all the loose ends nicely and made the four books of the series, a wonderful listening experience. I cannot recommend the series highly enough for the depth of characters, the interesting multiple storylines, the wonderful concepts and ideas that OSC introduces and the exemplary reading by a consistently high-performance narration team. Thank you OSC and all involved in producing these audiobooks.

Sort of ok I couldnt take another lDescolada planet guilt fest . I do miss Ender though he was the ultimate hero / villain and without him I would lose interest. Sorry Oscar but hey ive sunk a few dollars to get to this decision. Ender and Bean and Peter and Valentine I'll miss them

Ender, the series that just keep getting better!
I have been a rapt enthusiast about this science fiction series since book one. The books are all very different with different ideas and problems, but the writing is always top notch, so with this book.
This is the most philosophical of the books, and it takes the characters far beyond what we would think possible in the real world, but somehow, I never thought that it took liberties that the author couldn't back up.
