This collection of tales introduces you to Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the beloved boy-hero of Ender's Game, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel.
Ender's future father, John Paul Wiggin, is known as "The Polish Boy". The Hegemony is in a frantic attempt to choose capable military leaders in order to stave off the alien invasion in the years between the first two Bugger Wars. They could have discovered their kid, or man, in John Paul Wiggin.
Written specifically for this collection, the novella "Teacher's Pest" has a smart but conceited university student named John Paul Wiggin competing intellectually with a similarly smart graduate student.
"The Investment Counselor" is a post-Bugger Wars drama. Twenty-year-old Andrew Wiggin is a fugitive who has been banished from Earth and is being falsely accused of being a mass killer. His identity is compromised by a tax inspector who is using extortion to threaten to reveal Ender the Xeoncide.
The original, 1977 novella that won an award, "Ender's Game," is also reproduced here.
