Shadow of the Hegemon brings the tally of books in this setting where a group of the brightest children save the planet from alien invasion to six volumes.
The political scenes, not only in Asia, but in Peter Wiggins’ attempt to become Hegemon are also done well, and show Card’s interest in broadening his Ender universe to incorporate more potential stories.
As befalls many series, the Ender universe is developing patterns, partly due to Card’s own patterns and partly due to the limitations written into the universe in the first novel.

As with Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon is an easy-to-read yarn that quickly lost my interest.
But the biggest problem with Shadow of the Hegemon is that it is essentially a political thriller, with none of the imaginative elements that made Ender's Game (and Speaker of the Dead) so wonderful.
Card is a mediocre political novelist (despite the laurels he heaps on himself in his bizarre afterward), and the machinations that occur in Shadow of the Hegemon feel simplistic, almost naive.

 Review of Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card
SHADOW OF THE HEGEMON by Orson Scott Card (see his website)
Bean and Petra (another battle school veteran who for whom both Achilles and Bean hold a romantic attachment) dominate the novel as characters although Achilles dominates it as the central actor.
Petra's attempts to keep her sanity and be faithful to her beliefs despite the brutal conditions of her captivity by Achilles adds an emotional depth critical to SHADOW OF THE HEGEMON's strength.
