Narrative Concering Books Earthfall (Homecoming Saga #4)
Earthfall, the fourth volume in Orson Scott Card's space opera Homecoming seriesThe Oversoul of the colony planet Harmony selected the family of Wetchik to carry it back to long-lost Earth. Now grown to a tribe in the years of their journey to Harmony's hidden starport, they are ready at last to take a ship to the stars. But from the beginning there has been bitter dispute between Nafai and Elemak, Wetchick's youngest son and his oldest.
On board the starship Bailica, the children of the tribe will become pawns in the struggle. Two factions are each making secret plans to awaken the children, and themselves, early from the cold-sleep capsules in which they will pass the long decades of the journey. Each side hopes to gain years of influence on the minds of the children, winning their loyalty in the struggle for control of reclaimed Earth.
But the Oversoul is truly in control of this journey. It has downloaded a complete copy of itself to the Ship's computers. And only Nafai, who wears the Cloak of the Starmaster by the Oversoul's command, really understand what this will mean to all their plans for the future.

This should have ended the series, pretty good moment to tie all the loose ends, finish agony of the characters who just are wicked and should have been cannon fodder aGoT style. But no, same situations, same face offs, little bit new info, but not enough.As book four opens, the family chosen to repopulate Earth has completed the work of building the ancient star ships that will take it home. But an unending hatred between two brothers could pull the family apart. The aging father insists that family members swear an oath to follow his youngest son, Nafai. To keep the peace, everyone enters the oath, but the oldest brother is quietly biding his time until the old man is dead, and he can take over.But is there another way to ensure that future
Oh no, by book #4 I am almost certain nothing cool will EVER happen in this book series.The characters continue to travel and travel and travel and talk and talk and talk.Still having hopes for the grand finale #5 though...
40 million years ago mankind was forced to flee the planet Earth as a result of their own shortsightedness. Those few who survived vowed never to let their descendants repeat the mistakes of the past so they created the Oversoul, a sophisticated AI programmed to watch over mankind on their new world, Harmony. When the time was right, the Oversoul was designed to lead the humans back to their ancient home world. That time has finally come and the Oversoul carefully selects the family of Wetchik
The third book started off great, but by the time I was knee deep in the book it was getting repetitive, and not branching out to knew obstacles. I was a little disappointed after reading the other books.
While I enjoyed the theory of the saga, I was tired by the time I reached this book.
This was my favorite of the Homecoming series. I haven't read book 5 yet, but I feel like the series could and should have ended with this book.
