If you liked Ender's Game, then the follow-up books are a "Must have", even if you think "How could they be better than the original"? The unabridged versions are a bit long winded at times, but you get details that you NEED to have to keep up with the complex stories being woven. The characters are well fleshed out (sometimes it seems a little too much time is wasted fleshing out a character, but it ends up being just the right amount of information you needed to know to keep up with the character's motivations further along in the book, or series).

In this book, Card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean, the one who became Ender's right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers. 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.Īndrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School he was just the best of the best. 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 human race is at war with the "Buggers", an insect-like alien race. ![]()
