	Amazon.com: Ender's Shadow (Ender, Book 5) (Ender's Shadow): Books: Orson Scott Card

		Ender's Game Boxed Set: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card

	Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game & Ender's Shadow
		Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are fictional biographies.
		Ender's Game is the story of Ender Wiggin, a child who is chosen to command an army in the battle against the Buggers, an alien race.
		Almost 15 years and several sequels later, Card returned to the world of Ender's Game from a different perspective.

	CNN - Review: 'Ender's Shadow' - July 30, 1999
		"Ender's Shadow" marks the return of Orson Scott Card to the claustrophobic, intense world of the battle school that first fascinated readers in "Ender's Game." It is entertaining, fast-paced science fiction.
		In "Ender's Shadow," Card retells the tale of training and the battle, but this time through the eyes of the youngest and smallest commander, Bean.
		"Ender's Shadow" is also more cynical than "Ender's Game." The men in charge not only don't have all the answers, but also -- through their secrets, manipulation and mistrust -- are harming their own goals.

	Orson Scott Card - Ender Series
		Like its predecessors— Ender’s Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets — SHADOW OF THE GIANT is filled with political intrigue, moral dilemmas and fast-paced action.
		Yet there is nowhere on Earth that does not harbor his enemies, both old enemies from the days in Ender’s Jeesh and new enemies from the wars on Earth.
		Since Ender defeated the alien enemy, the nations of earth were no longer united by a common enemy.

	Bublos.com: Compare Book Prices ›› Shadow of the Hegemon - Orson Scott Card - Hardcover - 1ST
		In Ender's Shadow, Card told the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean—the one who became Ender's right hand, his strategist, and his friend.
		Author Biography: Orson Scott Card is the author of the national bestseller, Ender's Shadow, and of the beloved classic of science fiction, Ender's Game.
		This is the story of how Bean turned away from his first friend, Ender, and became the tactical genius who won the Earth for Ender's brother, Peter, who became the Hegemon.

	The Shadow of the Torturer
		In the previous book in the series "Ender's Shadow" the life of Ender at battle school is told from Bean's perspective, this new book carries on immediately after the war against the Buggers has been won.
		This is the second in the shadow trilogy that tells of the life of Bean, on of Ender's lieutenants from "Ender's game".
		This is a middle book in a series, and I wouldn't recommend trying to read it without having read Ender's Shadow.

	The Philotic Web Forum
		Ender's Shadow is very reflective of the action in Ender's Game, whereas SotH and Shadow Puppets are very...political.
		I liked Ender's Shadow more than Ender's Game mainly because you come to realize how important Bean was in Ender's future and the type of influence he has on people.
		But towards the end of Ender's Shadow, he says he wants to somehow be a part of the world, to be in control of what happens.

	CNN - Review: 'Ender's Shadow' - July 30, 1999
		Although "Ender's Game" readers will know the basic outline of the plot of "Ender's Shadow," there are enough new elements and twists to keep the story fresh and exciting.
		"Ender's Shadow" is also more cynical than "Ender's Game." The men in charge not only don't have all the answers, but also -- through their secrets, manipulation and mistrust -- are harming their own goals.
		"Ender's Shadow" marks the return of Orson Scott Card to the claustrophobic, intense world of the battle school that first fascinated readers in "Ender's Game." It is entertaining, fast-paced science fiction.

	Shadow of the Hegemon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shadow of the Hegemon (2001) is the second novel in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Shadow series (often called the Bean Quartet) and the sixth novel in the Ender's Game series.
		In Shadow of the Hegemon the Battle School graduates, except for Ender, return to their homes on Earth.
		The cover art for Shadow of the Hegemon features Bean standing in the metaphorical shadow of Earth, under control of the hegemon Peter Wiggin.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Shadow of the Hegemon (Shadow Saga S.)
		Shadow of the Hegemon lacks glittering SF hardware and seems almost old-fashioned after the planet-busting supertechnology of Ender's Game.
		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.
		It is not on a par with Ender's Shadow or with Ender's Game, but as someone else pointed out: the story needed telling, and it is great to read.

	Ender's Game Boxed Set: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon
		This collection is also known as "Ender's Saga" and contains the novels "Ender's Game," "Ender's Shadow," and "Shadow of the Hegemon." If you do not already have these titles, this is a great way to get into a fabulous science fiction series for any age.
		I was a bit miffed that Amazon does not bother to indicate which books of the Ender's series are included in this set.
		However, if you have already read "Ender's Game" (the first of the series) there are other sets available to round out your collection.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Shadow of the Hegemon (Orson Scott Card)
		But the biggest problem with Shadow of the Hegemon is that it is essentially a political thriller, with none of the imaginative elements that made Ender's Game (and Speaker of the Dead) so wonderful.
		As with Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon is an easy-to-read yarn that quickly lost my interest.
		The second chapter of Ender's Game alone, when Peter nearly kills Ender and then cries by Ender's side afterward, still sends chills down my back; no scene with Peter in Shadow of the Hegemon made him out to be anything other than another plot device.

	Kliatt: Shadow of the Hegemon - Audiobook Review
		Taking up the Ender saga after Ender's Game (1985), Speaker for the Dead (1986), and Ender's Shadow (1999), Shadow of the Hegemon continues the story of Bean, previously Ender's second-in-command and an amazing young man. The bugger war is over but peace is interrupted when the young soldiers of the Batrtle School are abducted.
		Bean is forced to enlist the help of the politically savvy Peter Wiggin (Ender's brother who yearns to be the ruler, the Hegemon) and together they attempt to thwart Achilles, and save their friends and the world.
		The kidnapper is Achilles, a psychopath who plans to rule the world with the help of the Battle School students.

	Excessive Candour
		The ultimate failure of Ender's Shadow does not lie in the occasional failure in the cunning of its telling, moments when (for instance) the inevitability of Bean's shadowing-in-advance of the original story become very nearly tedious; the ultimate failure is a failure of philosophy.
		And the book itself is a shadow of its famous predecessor, the novel that signalized Card's irruption into the world of SF.
		It is fun to have Ender's Shadow; but it would be very much less fun to live in the shadow its heroes would impose upon a real world.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		Although women and girls are very much present and active in Ender's Shadow, this book is a glimpse into a boys' world of "snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails": a world of jostling for supremacy, of schoolyard taunts and dares that are deadly serious.
		Ender's Shadow is a fine addition to the "Ender" saga.
		While it's often fascinating to follow his logic, the slow buildup may irk those who have read the Ender novels and know the intense, fast-paced climactic scene toward which Ender's Shadow is heading.

	Anyone for Enders Game??? - Christian Forums
		Ender's Shadow(parallel book to Ender's Game, written from Bean's perspective), Shadow of the Hegemon, and Shadow Puppets are the first three in the Shadow series...
		Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind are the last 3 in the Ender Series.
		I have read Ender's Game and the one that comes after it, Speaker for the Dead, I think.

		Just look at my member title! Although Ender's game is my favorite, I still like the other books.

	Enders Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - The Superhero Hype! Boards
		Ender's Shadow is great, and so is Shadow of the Hegemon, but I didn't like Speaker for the Dead at all, just too boring with those damn pigs.
		Be sure to read the other books too....Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Speaker For the Dead.
		On another note...I've read Ender's Game a dozen times...I love it.

	Amazon.com: Books: Shadow of the Hegemon (Ender)
		Shadow of the Hegemon focus's on the protaganist of ender's shadow, bean aka julian delphiki (WAY better than ender by far) as he stugges to prevent wars while searching for his kidnapped friend from ender's jeesh, petra arkanian.
		It picks up where Ender's Shadow left off: the war against the aliens has been won, which means that all of the domestic tensions set aside for that battle have re-emerged in full force, and the brilliant children who won the war for Earth become prizes in those battles.
		The Peter of SHADOW OF THE HEGEMON is very different from the Peter of CHILDREN OF THE MIND, and is perhaps the most complicated character of the entire series.

	Shadow of the Hegemon
		Even more so than Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon is presented as a clearly unfinished story, and the next sequel (or sequels) is simply a matter of time.
		With Ender's Shadow, even though I knew in advance how the plot would end (since it is, after all, the same plot as in Ender's Game), I still found myself unable to put the book aside.
		The author not only assumes you've read Ender's Shadow, but also that you remember all the nitty-gritty details of that book.

		In contrast, Ender's Shadow's ending seems somewhat pat, set up as it is by a deus ex machina situation in the form of a revelation dropped not so casually by Col. Graff.
		For its part, Ender's Shadow tells the story of Bean, a child genius who spends the first years of his life as a beggar orphan on the streets of late 21st-Century Rotterdam.
		Ender's Shadow is a perfect title, and not only for marketing reasons.
