{"product_id":"shadow-of-the-giant-the-shadow-series","title":"Shadow of the Giant (The Shadow Series)","description":"The Ender Saga continues with Shadow of the Giant, which parallels the events of Ender's Game from a different character’s point of view.\n\nBean's past was a battle just to survive. He first appeared on the streets of Rotterdam, a tiny child with a mind leagues beyond anyone else. He knew he could not survive through strength; he used his tactical genius to gain acceptance into a children's gang, and then to help make that gang a template for success for all the others. He civilized them, and lived to grow older. Then he was discovered by the recruiters for the Battle School.\n\nFor Earth was at war - a terrible war with an inscrutable alien enemy. A war that humanity was near to losing. But the long distances of interstellar space has given hope to the defenders of Earth - they had time to train military geniuses up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high-orbital facility called the Battle School. That story is told in two books, Orson Scott Card's beloved classic Ender's Game, and its parallel, Ender's Shadow. Now, in Shadow of the Giant, Bean's story continues.\n\nBean was the smallest student at the Battle School, but he became Ender Wiggins' right hand, Since then he has grown to be a power on Earth. He served the Hegemon as strategist and general in the terrible wars that followed Ender's defeat of the alien empire attacking Earth. Now he and his wife Petra yearn for a safe place to build a family - something he has never known - but there is nowhere on Earth that does not harbor his enemies - old enemies from the days in Ender's Jeesh, new enemies from the wars on Earth. To find security, Bean and Petra must once again follow in Ender's footsteps. They must leave Earth behind, in the control of the Hegemon, and look to the stars.\n\nTHE ENDER UNIVERSE\n\nEnder series\nEnder’s Game \/ Speaker for the Dead \/ Xenocide \/ Children of the Mind \/ Ender in Exile \/ Children of the Fleet\n\nEnder’s Shadow series\nEnder’s Shadow \/ Shadow of the Hegemon \/ Shadow Puppets \/ Shadow of the Giant \/ Shadows in Flight\n\nThe First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\nEarth Unaware \/ Earth Afire \/ Earth Awakens\n\nThe Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\nThe Swarm \/ The Hive\n\nEnder novellas\nA War of Gifts \/ First Meetings\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312857586\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0312857586.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Card, Orson Scott\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
