Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card (2000, Paperback)

Ender's Shadow is the First book in the Shadow series. This first book is our introduction to the Main Character "Bean", and it unfolds the story of his life as it lies parallel to Ender Wiggin's in the book Ender's Game. Bean's story is unlike any other in the Ender/Shadow series. He is a Very different character from Ender, but you will love him all the same. The immense amount of intelligence, courage, personality, and strength wrapped around Bean's character takes him from the pages of the book and makes him real. The reader will want to be part of Bean's life, and his world. If there were ever a character in Sci-Fi history that could come close to the love we have for Ender, it would be Bean. What amazed me most about this book and all of the Shadow Series, is how the characters become you. You hurt when they hurt, you laugh when they laugh. You always want to look out for them, help them, and destroy their enemies. It's almost like you can't help but get emotionally involved in their lives. The Story line keeps you hooked till the very last word. I would suggest having the next book ready at hand, because you will want to go strait from one to the next.

Great book, reads lightning fast, and provides great insight into the Battle School. Good to get Card back on track after Children of the Mind.

I bought the book because i needed to finish the series to complete the story, and was immediately impressed with everything.
What a great book,excellent condition and fast delivery. Thank you so much.

Ender's Shadow is just as great as the original Ender's Game. I highly recommend this to anyone that liked the first one. Great book!

This is the first of a parallel series to Ender's Game. I'd reccomend that you read Ender's Game first, but it's still an amazing book by itself. If you thought Ender was awesome, wait till you get to know Bean.
All in all, great book. Orson Scott Card is amazing at digging into how people think and using it to propel his storylines.
