Where in the link does it say that Shadows in Flight is to be a short story. It says that Shadows Alive will definately be "the big wrap-up novel", but that in Flight will be a short novel does not make it a short story. ~ QuasiAbstract { talk/ contrib} 16:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
It could be posible that Bean's "problem" is resolved by the Descoladores, as they d seem to be able to change the gentic makeup of adult organisms.
I didn't read the second 2 bean books but... didn't 3000 years pass? did Bean travel at near lightspeed in the later books or what? Ooh, I know! Ender's kids'll invent time travel using Jane and go back in time! </goofy speculation> Kuronue 23:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Bean travelled at near lightspeed...
Another possibility is that the abilities Ender's kid's/Jane have of creating matter, like the piggie's cure, will allow them to create a cure for him and his children or maybe just the children.
But how many years will it had been, even at Relativistic speeds on Bean's ship, and how big will he have grown, even if he is still alive, maybe its only his children
" ...which will link the Bean quartet back to the Ender novels."
I believe a better word would be "quadrilogy" or "Tetrology". When using the word "quartet" I at first thought you were referring to characters in the series.
Unfortunately, I don't have the link to a transcript of the Q&A session, but I was at Brigham Young University, and Orson Scott Card was speaking, and answered some questions regarding this book. Apparently, it's confirmed that Bean's children 'deal' with the Descoladores. Serpent_Guard 19:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I can't find a source anywhere online, but in Orson Scott Card's afterword to the Children of the Mind audiobook, he specifically says something to the effect of, "I know why the Descoladores are the way they are, I just haven't told that story yet. I'll eventually write a novel that ties in that story with the Shadow series, and then you'll get to know what's up." (That's not a quote, just the gist.) I don't have the audiobook (got from the library), so I can't type up a transcript. But it's cool that in 2006 (when the audiobook was published), he already had this plan in mind. I'm pretty new at Wikipedia, but I think I ought not to post this on the Shadows in Flight page until I can corroborate it...? Basementwall ( talk) 15:20, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
