Greetings from Battleschool.
Being an adult is never simple. But imagine growing up on the desolate streets, where you would have to fight like a dog and beg for food from vicious gangs of hungry children who would not think twice to beat your head into pulp in exchange for a piece of apple. The one thing Bean has learned on the streets is how to make ends meet. and not in clenches. He's just too little for that. but with intellect.
Bean is a genius who can pinpoint his opponent's vulnerability and take advantage of it like a magician.
What better trait for a future general to have while leading the planet in the decisive war against an adversarial extraterrestrial species called the Buggers. During his time at Battleschool, Bean becomes friends with Ender Wiggins, a future commander who is perhaps his only real opponent.
There's only one issue: Bean and Ender live in the present.
The novel that started The Shadow Series, Ender's Shadow, is a parallel work to the science fiction masterpiece Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
