About the book: 2002 / Orson Scott Card is one of the brightest names in modern science fiction. The works of this writer have been awarded the highest awards - “Hugo”, “Nebula”, “Locus”, but this is not the main thing. A measure of Orson Scott Card's talent, which sharply distinguishes his creations even among the best “military-space” novels, is the genuine originality of his plots and frankly powerful emotionality. This author will not leave any reader indifferent. Read - and see for yourself!!! The saga of Andrew Wiggin - the greatest commander of the space age. The saga that began with the novels "Ender's Game", "The Voice of Those Who Are Not" and "Xenocide". The saga that ended, as we believed, with the novel "Children" mind.” But we only believed that the saga had ended... And, in fact, how much do we even know about how it BEGAN?! Before you is “Ender’s Shadow.” The story of the conquests and victories of Andrew Wiggin, seen by the most devoted of his comrades - a naive boy nicknamed Bob. The purpose of GREAT COMMANDERS is to fight and win. What is the purpose of those who fight next to him??!
