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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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 \u003ci\u003eEnder's Game\u003c\/i\u003e, and its parallel, \u003ci\u003eEnder's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e. Now, in \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Giant\u003c\/i\u003e, Bean's story continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBean 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE ENDER UNIVERSE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnder series\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnder's Game\u003c\/i\u003e \/ \u003ci\u003eSpeaker for the Dead \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eXenocide \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Mind \u003c\/i\u003e\/\u003ci\u003e Ender in Exile \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Fleet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnder's Shadow series\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnder's Shadow \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Hegemon \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow Puppets \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Giant \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadows in Flight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarth Unaware \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eEarth Afire \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eEarth Awakens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Swarm \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eThe Hive\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnder novellas\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA War of Gifts \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eFirst Meetings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480274198801,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780812571394.jpg?v=1777545115","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-shadow-of-the-giant-by-orson-scott-card","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
