Enjoyable read, though overly long due to Card's inability to "self-edit" all the convoluited time-travel explanation, which personally made things more, rather than less confusing. It was almost as if he was trying to explain with hard science, what was truly a construct of his own mind, and not scientifically possible, in our time anyway. The afterword which brings some clarity to the parallel stories in every chapter, should be read once you've started the novel rather than left for the end to bring more clarity to this literary device. Not on the level of Ender's Game, but clever and inventive. Continued in the book Ruins.
