Media Reviews
Orson Scott Card keeps returning to his first published story Ender's Game (1977). He expanded it into the acclaimed 1985 novel Ender's Game, winning Hugo and Nebula awards and spawning several sequels. More recently, Ender's Shadow reworked the original tale of precocious boy soldier Ender saving the world from alien hordes at terrible personal cost, as told from the different, colder viewpoint of his even younger lieutenant Bean. Now Ender has been sent to the stars as too dangerously charismatic a military leader to keep on Earth. Without the common alien threat, our global alliance is disintegrating. Ender's top strategists like Bean are in demand by would-be conquering countrie Four strange, tortured teenagers dominate the book.

What makes it compulsive reading is Card's uncannily sure handling of character, especially flawed characters and t David Langford, AMAZON.CO.UK 'Haunting, compulsive, urgently readable...Storytelling genius' INTERZONE
