The Ender Saga continues with Shadow of the Giant, which parallels
the events of Ender's Game from a different character's point of
view.
Bean's past was a battle just to survive. He first appeared on the
streets of Rotterdam, a tiny child with a mind leagues beyond anyone
else. He knew he could not survive through strength; he used his
tactical genius to gain acceptance into a children's gang, and then to
help make that gang a template for success for all the others. He
civilized them, and lived to grow older. Then he was discovered by the
recruiters for the Battle School.
For Earth was at war - a terrible war with an inscrutable alien enemy. A
war that humanity was near to losing. But the long distances of
interstellar space has given hope to the defenders of Earth - they had
time to train military geniuses up from childhood, forging them into an
irresistible force in the high-orbital facility called the Battle
School. That story is told in two books, Orson Scott Card's beloved
classic Ender's Game, and its parallel, Ender's Shadow. Now, in
Shadow of the Giant, Bean's story continues.
Bean was the smallest student at the Battle School, but he became Ender
Wiggins' right hand, Since then he has grown to be a power on Earth. He
served the Hegemon as strategist and general in the terrible wars that
followed Ender's defeat of the alien empire attacking Earth. Now he and
his wife Petra yearn for a safe place to build a family - something he
has never known - but there is nowhere on Earth that does not harbor his
enemies - old enemies from the days in Ender's Jeesh, new enemies from
the wars on Earth. To find security, Bean and Petra must once again
follow in Ender's footsteps. They must leave Earth behind, in the
control of the Hegemon, and look to the stars.
