re: Recommend a book series

Alright, so I got through 5 more chapters. The main protaganist is a kid (by our standards), and not awfully bright, but the characters around him are all very much adult and the whole book leaves plenty of room for some interpretation and speculation. I'm going to pop some corn and keep reading, though I have not quite gotten to the heavy action yet, which is incoming.

It's definitely not "Ender's Game".

Thank's for the input.
