Empire tells a lively parable, critical for our time, about the depth of ideological divides, particularly the current one between Conservatives and Liberals. This fictional civil war story proposes that we have reached a crux of cultural division which could leave us all subject to a new Caesar Augustus, a dictator who quietly and cleverly uses party division to give himself supreme power. Some of cards favorite themes make odd reappearances as plot devices here. If you liked the jeesh of Ender Wiggin, you might love to see such characters operating in a world even more real than that of Card's Shadow series following his other Ender world characters, primarily Bean. More importantly though it follows a lively "Modern Warfare" story which should concern all those who love freedom.
