Margaret Edwards Award-winner Card's latest entry in the Ender series goes back to the first book, Ender's Game (Tor, 1985). In fact, this novel essentially takes the last chapter of Ender's Game and expands it to novel length. Ender is thirteen, the hero of the world for destroying the formics. But where does a thirteen-year-old hero live? Ender and his sister Valentine, who has just retired as the demagogue Demosthenes, go to a colony planet where Ender will become the governor. Ender is obsessed with the formics, particularly with wondering why the hive queens allowed him to destroy their planet. At the same time, he must deal with human concerns, such as the power-hungry captain of the ship that is taking him to the colony world and the Italian girl and her mother who see Ender as a "young man with prospects.÷ Card does not disappoint as he explores ideas and human nature through Ender's eyes. Much of the novel consists of dialogue and e-mails, and these devices keep the book moving along at a rapid clip. Even though readers of Ender's Game and its other sequels and companion books will not be in doubt as to the resolution of this book, Card keeps the tension going. Fans, especially those who enjoyed the first Ender book and the Shadow companion books, will be delighted to learn more about the teenaged Ender and his journeys.
