Card's Mormon beliefs are more strongly represented in this book than in some of his others. Earthborn is essentially a story about Free Will, the reasons why God (Card's "Keeper") grants it and the fact that some people will use it to do evil things. This sounds dry, and Card's pious conclusion is a little overplayed, but Card has a reputation in SF for a good reason. He builds all his novels around directly engaging characters and clear-cut moral dilemmas. In this novel it is the most basic dilemma of all: will the attractive but flawed central character Akma choose truth or falsehood, good or evil? If you've read the preceding four Homecoming books then this one is must-buy; and even if this is your first Card novel you'll see why he is one of the world's most highly regarded SF authors. This book may not be at the level of Ender's Game or Xenocide--Card's masterpieces--but it does build a powerful and very human momentum. --Adam Roberts, author of Salt
