Ender's Shadow
Orson Scott Card · 5 novels · 1999–2012
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Shadow retells the events of Ender's Game from the perspective of Bean, a physically stunted but ferociously intelligent street child recruited into the same Battle School program as Ender Wiggin. It launches the Shadow series, which follows Bean and other secondary Battle School characters into the political aftermath of the Formic Wars back on Earth, running parallel to and eventually past the timeline of Card's main Ender Quintet.
