Card returns to the beginning of his Ender cycle with this parallel stand-alone novel as powerful as Enders Game. Ender wasnt the only child in Battle School -- Bean was Enders right hand, strategist, and friend who was with Ender in the final battle. A tiny child from Rotterdam, Beans struggle caught the attention of the Battle Schools recruiters. The novel that launched the bestselling Enders Shadow series. The human race is at War with the Buggers, an insect-like alien race. As Earth prepares to defend itself from total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable enemy, all focus is on the development of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win. The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth--they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School. Andrew Ender Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. In Enders Shadow, Card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean--the one who became Enders right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers. Beans past was a battle just to survive. His success brought him to the attention of the Battle Schools recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender....
