Welcome to the Enderverse.

When Orson Scott Card first published "Ender's Game" as a novella in 1977, few would have predicted that it would become one of the most successful ventures in publishing history. Expanded into a novel in 1985, Ender's Game won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Novel. Never out of print and translated into dozens of languages, it is the rare work of fiction that can truly be said to have transcended a genre. Ender's Game and its sequels have won dozens of prestigious awards and are as popular today among teens and young readers as adults.

First Meetings is an audiobook collection of three novellas-plus the original "Ender's Game"-that journey into the origins and the destiny of one Ender Wiggin.

"The Polish Boy" begins in the wake between the first two Bugger Wars when the Hegemony is desperate to recruit brilliant military commanders to repel the alien invasion. In John Paul Wiggin-the future father of Ender -they believe they may have found their man. Or boy.

In "Teacher's Pest"-a novella written especially for this collection-a brilliant but insufferably arrogant John Paul Wiggin, now an American university student, matches wits with an equally brilliant graduate student named Theresa Brown.

It is many years since the end of the Bugger Wars in "The Investment Counselor." Ender's reputation as a hero and savior has suffered a horrible reversal. Banished from Earth and slandered as a mass murderer, twenty-year-old Andrew Wiggin wanders incognito from planet to planet as a fugitive. Until a blackmailing tax inspector compromises his identity and threatens to expose Ender the Xenocide.

This book is incredible! It's a fascinating look into the hemogeny and Ender's family of origin. Also it was really interesting to look at Ender's life after his reputation had been destroyed. It's not really a .5 book because it has two stories about Ender's father, one about Ender in training, and one 300 years after. ( )

If you enjoyed the full novel of Ender's Game, you will like this quick read. This includes Card's original short story and it is an interesting look at the series. ( )
  SMBrick | Feb 25, 2018 |
'First Meetings' brings together 4 short stories, telling the tale of Ender Wiggin. Beginning with how Ender's father came to America, to his meeting with Ender's mother, the quartet includes the original 'Ender's Game' novella and concludes with Ender's introduction to the practice of 'Speaking for the Dead. I'd read them all before, but they are fast to read, and are a pleasant jog to the memory, pending the upcoming 2013 film. ( )
