The book I am reading is called "The Shadow of the Hegemon". It was written by Orson Scott Card, and it is 451 pages. The main characters are Julian "Bean" Delphiki, Petra Arkanian, and Peter Wiggin. I suppose that Bean is actually the lead character, and Petra and Peter are supporting characters, but the book is written in all three of their perspectives. .
In the start of the book, an enormous intergalactic war with an insect race has just ended. The "Hero" of the war was a thirteen year old boy named Ender Wiggin. He was the great commander of the Starcruisers and Fighters. He commanded from an asteroid, called Eros. At the end of the war, instead of returning to Earth, He decides to leave with a ship bound for a new colony planet. During the war though, Bean, another boy even younger than Ender, was Ender's second. If the strain of battle became too great for Ender, Bean was the one who would take over.
.
When the war is over, Bean returns to earth. Soon after his return to earth, members of Ender's "jeesh"(or his fellow youth commanders) are kidnapped. Except for Bean, because the person who choreographed the kidnaping's thinks that bean is too smart to be used. Instead of trying to kidnap Bean they try to assassinate him. Because of this, Bean decides to go into hiding. .
This is the part where the book really takes off. Bean separates from his family and goes into hiding with a nun called Sister Carlotta. Bean is a certified genius. He is probably the most intelligent human being alive, at the time. Sister Carlotta is close to being a genius herself. Thus, when you get two people that are extremely intelligent their conversations are interesting to say the least. One of their favorite topics is the existence of God, and his role in society. Bean doesn't believe in god, and thinks that survival justifies any actions. Sister Carlotta on the other hand, (being a nun) thinks that God is alive and takes an active part in our lives.
