Bookroo's summary

On Lusitania, three sentient species face annihilation by the Starways Congress. Jane, a powerful AI, can save them by moving ships instantly across the universe, but her abilities are fading as the Net is shut down. Ender's children must race against time to preserve Jane's power and their own survival. Will they succeed before the fleet arrives?

From the publisher

The planet Lusitania is home to three sentient species: the Pequeninos; a large colony of humans; and the Hive Queen, brought there by Ender. But once against the human race has grown fearful; the Starways Congress has gathered a fleet to destroy Lusitania. Jane, the evolved computer intelligence, can save the three sentient races of Lusitania. She has learned how to move ships outside the universe, and then instantly back to a different world, abolishing the light-speed limit. But it takes all the processing power available to her, and the Starways Congress is shutting down the Net, world by world. Soon Jane will not be able to move the ships. Ender’s children must save her if they are to save themselves. Children of the Mind is the fourth book in Orson Scott Card’s The Ender Saga.
