After twenty-three years, Orson Scott Card returns to his
acclaimed best-selling series with the first true, direct sequel to
the classic "Ender's Game."
In "Ender's Game," the world's most gifted children were taken
from their families and sent to an elite training school. At Battle
School, they learned combat, strategy, and secret intelligence to
fight a dangerous war on behalf of those left on Earth. But they
also learned some important and less definable lessons about
life.
After the life-changing events of those years, these
children--now teenagers--must leave the school and readapt to life
in the outside world.
Having not seen their families or interacted with other people
for years--where do they go now? What can they do?
Ender fought for humanity, but he is now reviled as a ruthless
assassin. No longer allowed to live on Earth, he enters into exile.
With his sister Valentine, he chooses to leave the only home he's
ever known to begin a relativistic--and revelatory--journey beyond
the stars.
What happened during the years between "Ender's Game" and
"Speaker for the Dead"? What did Ender go through from the ages of
12 through 35? The story of those years has never been told. Taking
place 3000 years before Ender finally receives his chance at
redemption in "Speaker for the Dead," this is the long-lost story
of Ender.
For twenty-three years, millions of readers have wondered and
now they will receive the answers. "Ender in Exile" is Orson Scott
Card's moving return to all the action and the adventure, the
profound exploration of war and society, and the characters one
never forgot.
"On one of these ships, there is a baby that just may share the
same special gifts as Ender's old friend Bean..."
