Ender's Shadow

As Orson Scott Card says, "these two books complement and fulfill each other.". What could be a better quality in a future general to lead Earth in a final climactic battle against a hostile alien race? Recruited for Battle School, a military installation designed to select and train children as future officers in the International Fleet, Bean meets Ender Wiggin: soon to become his best friend, and his greatest rival….Readers can revisit the events of Ender's Game through the eyes of Bean in this companion or parallel novel. Readers who have not read Ender's Game will want to read it as soon as they finish Ender's Shadow. A companion novel to the beloved, bestselling science fiction classic Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, a major motion picture event in November 2013 If Julian Delphiki, known as "Bean," has learned anything from living on the streets, it's how to survive. And not with fistshe is too small for thatbut with brains.Bean is a genius with a magician's ability to zero in on his enemy and exploit his weakness

Another Masterful Work As Ender and Bean are gifted leaders and strategists, Card is a gifted writer. Seeing "the beginning of the story" for "Ender's Game" from Bean's perspective while also getting to know Bean so much better is a gift for the reader.. Dipping into the same well twice works like a charm. Travis Stein Although the reviews now indicate how I feel about the book, at first many probably doubted that card could essentially tell the same story twice. However, the story while similar to Ender's Game, does a brilliant job in its own right in becoming a separate book from it's original predecessor. The storyline of Bean from his struggles on the streets of Rotterdam to his acceptance and difficulties in Battle School , is extremely compelling. If y. A favorite for 15+ years This has been one of my most favorite books since I first read it in the 7th grade. The story of kids not just fighting against the threat to humanity, but commanding the entire military makes every young kid feel like they have a chance to do something important. The story line is great, moves along at a good pace, and keeps readers engaged. After 2 or 3 paperback copies got read to pieces, I finally purchased it for Kindle when the last copy
