Ender's Shadow is being dubbed as a parallel novel to Orson Scott
Card's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Ender's Game. By "parallel," Card
means that Shadow begins and ends at roughly the same time as Game, and
it chronicles many of the same events. In fact, the two books tell an
almost identical story of brilliant children being trained in the
orbiting Battle School to lead humanity's fleets in the final war
against alien invaders known as the Buggers. The most brilliant of
these young recruits is Ender Wiggin, an unparalleled commander and
tactician who can surely defeat the Buggers if only he can overcome his
own inner turmoil.
Second among the children is Bean, who
becomes Ender's lieutenant despite the fact that he is the smallest and
youngest of the Battle School students. Bean is the central character
of Shadow, and we pick up his story when he is just a 2-year-old
starving on the streets of a future Rotterdam that has become a hell on
earth. Bean is unnaturally intelligent for his age, which is the only
thing that allows him to escape--though not unscathed--the streets and
eventually end up in Battle School. Despite his brilliance, however,
Bean is doomed to live his life as an also-ran to the more famous and
in many ways more brilliant Ender. Nonetheless, Bean learns things that
Ender cannot or will not understand, and it falls to this once pathetic
street urchin to carry the weight of a terrible burden that Ender must
not be allowed to know.
