Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
Tor, Sept., 1999.Hardcover, 352 pages.

Bean is a complex character and his story is incredibly moving. But it is the wonderful character of the nun who discovers Bean, Sister Carlotta, who steals every scene in which she appears. Her wit is rapier sharp and quite funny. One wonders if she is a mouthpiece for Card's own views on religion, honor and duty. In any event, if you've been living on an asteroid for the last 20 years and haven't yet made the acquaintance of Ender Wiggin and the group from the Battle School, you have an amazing treat ahead of you. And as for Card fans -- it would take an army of conquering aliens to keep them away from this book. Highly Recommended.

When Ender's Game was first published in novel form in 1985, it immediately became one of the most talked-about and loved SF novels of the time. Card excels at writing children, and at creating new worlds which are both familiar and exotic at the same time. Winner of both the Nebula and Hugo Awards, this is one book that lives up to its hype, and that no SF lover should miss. Highly Recommended.
