   Hi Kurt!   
      
   30 Oct 20 07:15, you wrote to me:   
      
    AA>> How far is it into the book when that phrase is used? I never   
    AA>> finished the book.

   Your initial post and the phrase from the story driggered my curiosity of the   
   film. The film seemed a bit rushed or incomplete in certain parts. Now I'm   
   curious to fill in the gaps with the books.   
      
    KW>  I never read the sequels, I should consider it.   
      
   I did not realize that Card wrote 6 prequels (2 trilogies) to Ender's Game   
   several years later. It's like he's creating something similar to the   
   "trilogies" in the Star Wars saga.
