Ender decides to leave his sister Valentine behind ( she is married and pregnant ) after traveling with her for many years.

He signs it " Ender Wiggin ," and for the first time in his life, someone ( Novinha ) is prepared to receive the Xenocide with compassion instead of revulsion.

Valentine and her family plan to come to Lusitania to help out in the rebellion, aided by Jane ; Miro, with his crippled body, is sent into space to meet them ; the Hive Queen is released, ready to begin the continuation of her species ; and Ender marries Novinha.

No one connects " Andrew Wiggin " with " Ender Wiggin ", nor do they connect him ( as " Andrew " or " Ender ") with the original Speaker for the Dead.

No longer an outsider, Ender becomes friends with several of his cadets, forming " Ender's jeesh.

" A fellow squad leader, Bonzo de Madrid, furious at Ender's victories, attacks Ender with the intent to kill him.

Alongside other rigorous training, Mazer tests Ender with a war simulator, pitting virtual IF fleets under Ender's control against Formic fleets controlled by Mazer.

Ender is brought to the simulator, with several IF commanders watching, and told by Mazer this is his final test.

Ender takes the egg and, with information from the Queen, writes The Hive Queen under the alias " Speaker for the Dead ".

Bean and his friend Petra, who also served under Ender and who is travelling with Bean, have both seen Achilles so and immediately go into hiding, preparing for a future confrontation.

Throughout all of this, Bean has to contend with the reappearance of Achilles and his own struggle to understand what makes Ender human.

Shortly after their return, the members of the unit Ender commanded ( called his Jeesh, an Arabic word meaning ' army '; because they fought under Ender, those 10 children are considered the greatest generals on the planet ), with the exception of Bean, are kidnapped to be used as strategists in an upcoming struggle for world dominance that ensues after the Formics are defeated.

Peter sends Ender away after the five-day League War ; Valentine, having spent her entire life with the brother she fears, joins Ender, leaving Peter as the only Wiggin child on Earth.

As first described in Ender's Game, and later, with more detail, in Shadow of the Giant, he communicates by ansible and tells Ender what he did on Earth, both good and bad.

The teachers remark on the irony that Bean, the street urchin boy who struggled for his life on the streets of Rotterdam, ends his problems nonviolently, while Ender Wiggin, a similar child with a stable, fairly comfortable middle class upbringing from the United States, kills the boy who attacks him in the bathroom, defeating his enemies so they will never be able to attack him again.

Bean later learns that Achilles has captured all of Ender's " jeesh " ( the command group that was with Ender during the final battles of the Formic Wars ) except for Bean ( whom he tried to kill ) and Ender ( who is among the first to colonize a former bugger world ).

Peter reconciles with Ender via ansible, giving the " Speaker for the Dead " all he needs to write The Hegemon, a deeply felt and truthful biography of his brother.

In the original four Ender novels ( Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind ) the Formics are referred to as " buggers " exclusively, with no change in term when speaking in a pejorative sense or not.

However, due to relativistic space travel Ender himself ( who now goes by his real name Andrew Wiggin or by his title " Speaker for the Dead ") is only about 35 years old.

Besides attempting to unravel the question of why Novinha married Marcão when she really loved Libo ( Marcão was sterile, and a quick genetic scan on Jane's part reveals that Novinha's children are all, in fact, Libo's ), Ender also takes responsibility for attempting to heal the Ribeira family, and manages to adopt ( or perhaps is adopted by ) most of the children within their first meeting.

However, Ender cannot but help reveal secrets from the lives of Libo, Pipo, and even Novinha herself as their lives were all so delicately bound together by guilt, deception, and love.

The novel begins 3, 081 years after the events of the first book, by which time the works of The Hive Queen and The Hegemon have caused the human race to let go of its hatred of the Buggers and instead revile Ender as " The Xenocide ", who exterminated an entire species.

A film adaptation of the same name directed by Gavin Hood and starring Asa Butterfield as Ender is planned for release on November 1, 2013.

When explaining his actions to IF Commander Hyrum Graff, Ender states his belief that, by showing superiority now, he will have prevented further fights in the future.

In order to ensure Ender develops as a strong leader uninfluenced by his peers, Graff isolates him from the rest of the new cadets by acknowledging his intelligence and ridiculing his peers.

Between being ostracized by his fellow cadets and having troubling dreams about Formics, Ender is soon ready to quit the school, but Graff encourages him through communications sent from Valentine.

Ender is quick to acclimate to the new environment and demonstrates tactics not previously seen by the students and supervisors.

As the simulation starts, Ender finds his human fleet far-outnumbered by the Formic forces above a planet.

Valentine apologizes that Ender can never return to Earth as he would be too powerful a tool to be used by the various leaders, including Peter.

She posits that Ender Wiggin is an intentional reference by Card to Adolf Hitler and criticizes the violence in the novel, particularly at the hands of the protagonist.

The first five-issue series, titled Ender's Game: Battle School, was written by Christopher Yost, while the second five-issue series, Ender ’ s Shadow: Battle School, was written by Mike Carey.

The pequeninos are native to the planet, while the Hive Queen was transplanted to this world by Ender, partly in penance for his near-total destruction of her Formic species in Ender's Game.

In addition, to try to devise methods to escape the planet, Lusitania's leading, troublemaking physicist Grego is persuaded by Ender to research faster-than-light travel, despite Grego scoffing at the idea.

Peter seems to have played his hand perfectly — he unites humanity under a single government, due to the way that he analyzed the problem as early as Shadow of the Hegemon when he decides to take action against Achilles, and releases the information that Achilles was to betray the world via Russia ( and later India ) to China, which is soon taken over by Han Tzu ( a Battle school survivor of Ender Wiggin's jeesh ).

* Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card

However, Hegemon Peter Wiggin ( Ender's brother ) recognized the writing and requested that Ender also act as ' his ' " Speaker ".

After writing the book, Ender and Valentine depart in a ship in an attempt to find a planet that would allow the Queen to grow, and that they could call their new home.

When Peter, who had advanced to the position of Hegemon of Earth, contacts him, having realized Ender was the writer, the Speaker for the Dead writes a second novel, " The Hegemon ", a human parallel to the first book.

Ender discovers that both calls originated from the same ' family '; the first from Novinha's daughter Ela requesting someone speak for the death of Novinha's husband Marcos, and the second from her eldest son Miro, who has asked for a speaker for the researcher Libo, who died similarly to the older xenologer.

Peter, now the Hegemon of Earth, recognizes Ender's hand behind the work and requests Ender to write a book about Peter, which Ender entitles Hegemon.

* Ender Wiggin, a fictional character, also known as Andrew ' Ender ' Wiggin, and protagonist of the book Ender's Game.

Children of the Mind ( 1996 ) is the fourth book of Orson Scott Card's popular Ender's Game series of science fiction novels that focus on the character Ender Wiggin.

Throughout the book, the main theme rests on Bean's personal struggle against the IF administration, which seems bent on breaking Ender, even if it means murder.

To foster this eventual rebirth, Ender writes a book called " The Hive Queen ", which tells the story of the war from the Formic perspective.

He is living as an anonymous Speaker for the Dead, keeping his identity as the " Ender the Xenocide " who orchestrated the victory over the Formics a secret ; his book " The Hive Queen and the Hegemon " in which he " spoke for the dead " Formics worked well enough ( worked as it was intend to do ) such that most of humanity now considers Ender to have been a heartless monster who destroyed a race for no reason, and the name " Ender " is now considered vile, an insult.

A book that chronicles the ' lost years ' between Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, Ender in Exile tells of Ender's initial set-off from Eros, the long journey to the first colony, Shakespeare, as well as his trip to the Indian-dominant colony of Ganges, where Ender encounters a familiar, yet not-so-familiar face.

Sections in this book include: The Ender Encyclopedia, Ender's Timeline, Ender's Family Tree by Andrew Lindsay, Getting Ender Right: A Look at the Ender's Game Sceenplay Development by Aaron Johnston, and The Technology of Ender's Game by Stephen Sywak.

The majority of the book consists of encyclopedia references to the events, characters, locations, and technology found in the Ender's Game series up to the publication of Ender in Exile.

The book is notable for having new and behind the scenes information on certain topics such as Battle School Slang, The Look of the Formics, The History of Hyrum Graff, Ender and Valentine's Travels, and Mazer Rackham's Spaceship.

During the two-year transit ( subjective time ) to their new home, as well as the colony's first years there, Valentine pens a complete multi-volume history of the wars against the Formics, with the final book centering primarily around the now-legendary Ender Wiggin and including the text of The Hive Queen by the Speaker for the Dead.

In this book it is revealed that the Hive Queens, who were seeking a way to contact Ender during his crusade, attempted to construct a philotic ' bridge ' so that they could contact him.

The book The Whitechapel Windmill covers the handsome boxer's rise in the boxing world as well as his flamboyant out-of-the-ring life, which is said to have included an affair with Mae West and to have borne a long-lasting friendship with fellow East Ender Jack Spot, the colourful ( and also Jewish ) gangster.
