Does he have a hidden agenda? Read it and find out! Once upon a time he was the Ender Wiggin of the hexarchate, winning vicious battles against impossible odds, right up until the day he slaughtered millions of people - enemies and allies alike - and then turned his gun on his own staff. To help her out, they are depositing the world’s most ever chaotic Chaos Muppet, Jedao, into her brain. A very orderly Order Muppet indeed, Cheris, has been tapped to deal with a group of rebels (heretics) who are adhering to a different belief system (calendar) that threatens the stability of the government (hexarchate). I’m not going to worry too much about the technical aspects, since you won’t understand them anyway until you’re halfway through the sequel. “Wow you are doing a great job selling this book Jenny” I KNOW I KNOW but let me get to the point. Several people explained to me in advance the whole deal with calendrical rot and what it all meant, and even so, I was at sea for the first AT LEAST forty pages, like to the point that I did not feel confident I had grasped the meaning of any of the events that had unfolded up to that point. I confess that I delayed reading Ninefox Gambit, recent well-deserved winner of the Locus Award for First Novel, given that all the reviews I read of it said that it was SF as hell and explained absolutely nothing.
