If you love a thing, set it free. So it was with my copy of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game — a book I cherish so much I have been compelled to share it as often as possible.
It has had many sequels, from the redemption tale Speaker for the Dead (my personal favorite), which takes place 3,000 years later), to Ender’s Shadow, which overlaps with the original novel’s timeline and centers on Ender’s best friend in Battle School, the diminutive Bean. But Ender in Exile (hardcover, $25.95, Tor Books) is the first true, direct follow-up that takes place immediately after the original, chronicling “the lost years” between Andrew “Ender” Wiggin’s deliverance of humanity from an alien threat and his ultimate salvation of its soul in later volumes.
Orson Scott Card’s Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel Ender’s Game and its follow-up Ender’s Shadow will be visualized in another medium for the first time by Marvel Comics.
