Peter wanted her to do this to help him change some world views and take control of the world, but without Valentine, he couldn’t have done that. Thus, the world views would have probably stayed the same. She writes under the pseudonym of Demosthenes. She was the motivation for Ender, and he was occasionally the motivation for her.

Finally, as much as I wanted to stop reading, I couldn’t because it enthralled me so much. It was just so
