Ender in Exile

With the first real, direct sequel to the beloved Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card returns to his critically acclaimed, best-selling series after twenty-three years.

The most talented kids in the world were plucked from their homes and placed in an elite training facility, according to Ender's Game.They studied fighting, tactics, and secret information at Battle School so they could fight a bloody battle for the people who were still on Earth. However, they also picked up some crucial and elusive life lessons.

These now-teenagers were forced to quit school and reintegrate into society after the profoundly transformative events of those years.

Where do they go now that they haven't seen their family or socialized in years? Can they do anything?

Though he battled for mankind, Ender is now despised for being a vicious assassin. He is banished and is no longer permitted to reside on Earth. He decides to go off on a relativistic—and revelatory—journey beyond the stars with his sister Valentine, leaving behind the only house he has ever known.

What happened in the years that separated Speaker for the Dead from Ender's Game? Between the ages of twelve and thirty-five, what did Ender go through? That period's tale has never been told. This is Ender's long-lost narrative, set 3000 years before Speaker for the Dead, when he finally gets his opportunity at atonement.

Millions of readers have been wondering for twenty-three years, and today they will have the answers. Orson Scott Card's poignant return to action and adventure, deep dive into the study of war and civilization, and unforgettable characters can be found in Ender in Exile.

There may be a baby aboard one of these ships that has the same unique abilities as Ender's longtime buddy Bean.
