A companion novel to the beloved, bestselling science fiction
classic "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, a major motion picture
event in November 2013
If Julian Delphiki, known as "Bean," has learned anything from
living on the streets, it's how to survive. And not with fists--he
is too small for that--but with brains.
Bean is a genius with a magician's ability to zero in on his
enemy and exploit his weakness. What could be a better quality in a
future general to lead Earth in a final climactic battle against a
hostile alien race?
Recruited for Battle School, a military installation designed to
select and train children as future officers in the International
Fleet, Bean meets Ender Wiggin: soon to become his best friend, and
his greatest rival....
Readers can revisit the events of "Ender's Game "through the
eyes of Bean in this companion or parallel novel. Readers who have
not read "Ender's Game "will want to read it as soon as they finish
"Ender's Shadow." As Orson Scott Card says, "these two books
complement and fulfill each other."
Military men and others employed in government agencies have known
the truth about UFOs for decades. Dan Salter, now in his '80s,
reveals the story behind government attempts to suppress, as much
as they can, all knowledge of contact with extraterrestrials. He
says that the extraterrestrials have been waiting for the
government to come forward with information about contact, and if
that doesn't happen, they will take a more public role in the
disclosure. He lays out the case for a web of conspiracy and
tangled interactions ranging across continents, through time and
space and into the innermost workings of world politics, religion
and economics.
Prepare to have your mind blown! As you explore ten of the world's
greatest unsolved mysteries, you'll witness a UFO encounter, search
for the lost city of Atlantis, tour a haunted house and discover
the kraken's true form. Learn how sightings of flying saucers and
stories of alien abductions can be explained by sleep paralysis,
false memories and hypnosis. Find out what pareidolia is and how
this psychological phenomenon may explain some ghost sightings.
Explore possible real locations for the lost city of Atlantis.
Beautiful, haunting illustrations set the mood and spark the
imagination. Along the way, you'll use the scientific method and
sharp thinking to separate fact from fiction and explain the
unexplainable. Discover the fascinating truth surrounding these
mysteries and legends: Alien abductions, including the Roswell
incident Psychics Mysterious disappearances, including plane MH370
Zombies Ancient aliens, including the Nazca Lines Curses, including
King Tut's tomb Monsters of the Deep, including Nessie the Loch
Ness monster The search for Atlantis Ghosts and haunted mansions
Bigfoot The perfect gift for students of the paranormal, aspiring
mythbusters or anyone with a curious mind, this book will fascinate
and shock in equal measure!
Is there life in outer space? Have aliens vistied Earth? Learn
about the various conspiracy theories surrounding aliens.
If there really is alien life elsewhere in the Universe, then it's
reasonable to ask why we haven't seen it. Surely planet Earth must
have been visited by aliens, if they exist. Does that mean that
alien life doesn't exist? This book uses our knowledge of the
universe, some simple maths and a little bit of intelligent
speculation to take a sober look at the chances of our actually
meeting alien life. After all, we will only meet up if both of us
are in the right place at the right time. The Universe is a big
place - and it has been around for a long time. Perhaps we were
"out" when they visited us? This is a wonderful non-fiction book
which offers deep insights to inquiring minds in a way that is
simple yet not patronising. Light-hearted, stimulating and
entertaining, this book will answer at least some of the questions
that a curious child wants to know the answers to.
There are many stories in books and films about what would happen
if aliens invaded Earth. Would humans be able to survive if aliens
took over our planet? Read on to find out!

The Icons came from the sky. They belong to an inhuman enemy. They
ended our civilization, and they can kill us.
Most of us.
Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas are the four Icon Children, and the only
humans immune to the Icon's power to stop a human heart. Now that
Los Angeles has been saved, things are more complicated - and not
just because Dol has to choose between Lucas and Ro, the two great
loves of her life. Fleeing to a resistance outpost hidden beneath a
mountain, Dol makes contact with a fifth Icon Child, if only
through her visions. When Dol and the others escape to south Asia
in search of this missing child, Dol's dreams, feelings and fears
will meet in an epic showdown that will change more than just four
lives -- and stop one heart forever.
In the riveting sequel to "Icons, "filled with heart-pounding
action and compelling romance, bestselling author Margaret Stohl
explores what it means to be human and how our greatest weakness
can be humanity's strongest chance at survival.
