Yes it sure was. I don't have the time to read it your link now, but I'll try to get back to it.

There's one thing you got wrong thought. There are more than one queen. There is at least one per world (colony). And I remember the egg at the end telling how the queen that organized their society "filtered" her daughters to keep only those that were willing to work as a group.

The funny part is that Orson Scott Card only wrote this novel as filler to get to the real story he wanted to write, which happen to be the other novels, yet the first one is the one people are actually more interested in.

Personally, I think there were 2-3 weaknesses in the plot, I posted about them somewhere here and I'll see if I can dig it up.
