304 pgs (Homecoming series #2)
The Call of Earth, book two in Orson Scott Card's
Homecoming series, picks up right where
The Memory of Earth left off. Nafai and the rest of Volemak's family, having been directed by the Oversoul through dreams to flee the city of Basilica, have begun their journey through the desert. General Moozh, using forbidden technology, has begun the systematic conquering of the surrounding cities in preparation for taking control of Basilica soon. All while many have begun having unsettling dreams. But these aren't sent by the Oversoul, these are sent by the Keeper of Earth, millions of light years away.
I enjoyed
The Memory of Earth, but didn't think it was anything special, at least, not in comparison to Card's
Ender series. I was pleased to find that
The Call of Earth offered more promise than it did. It reinforced my decision to continue reading the series, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.
