Editorial Review:

After twenty-three years, Orson Scott Card returns to his acclaimed best-selling series with the first true, direct sequel to the classic Ender's Game.

In Ender's Game, the world's most gifted children were taken from their families and sent to an elite training school. At Battle School, they learned combat, strategy, and secret intelligence to fight a dangerous war on behalf of those left on Earth. But they also learned some important and less definable lessons about life.

After the life-changing events of those years, these children--now teenagers--must leave the school and readapt to life in the outside world.

Having not seen their families or interacted with other people for years--where do they go now? What can they do?

Ender fought for humanity, but he is now reviled as a ruthless assassin. No longer allowed to live on Earth, he enters into exile. With his sister Valentine, he chooses to leave the only home he's ever known to begin a relativistic--and revelatory--journey beyond the stars. 

What happened during the years between Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead? What did Ender go through from the ages of 12 through 35? The story of those years has never been told. Taking place 3000 years before Ender finally receives his chance at redemption in Speaker for the Dead, this is the long-lost story of Ender.

For twenty-three years, millions of readers have wondered and now they will receive the answers. Ender in Exile is Orson Scott Card's moving return to all the action and the adventure, the profound exploration of war and society, and the characters one never forgot.

On one of these ships, there is a baby that just may share the same special gifts as Ender's old friend Bean...

  • loosely linked short stories about Ender
    My wife got me this book for Christmas. And while I was reading it she kept asking how it was. I kept describing it as "It's OK". After finishing it, that's still how I feel. It was OK. Nothing I'd recommend to anybody else.
    One thing I did like was that Ender was "Ender" - the magically gifted kid who understands people and overcomes obstacles with his incredible ingenuity. Much better than in Xenocide and Children of the Mind when Ender is a stupid useless person who eventually disintegrates into a... more info

  • Another worthy book in the Ender series
    This book is aimed at existing Ender fans who want more details on the aftermath of the Bugger War. That being said, it helps to have more than a passing
    The novel really has four distinct and almost separate parts to it. This is not specifically a problem, but does mean that it is not bound together by a single, overarching story. A familiarity with the Ender universe is really quite necessary for this book.
    Card's stories are character driven and this book is no exception. In each incarnation of... more info

  • Courtesy of Teens Read Too
    Where did Ender disappear to after he saved planet Earth from the formics? What happened to Peter and his bid for world domination, to Valentine in Peter's shadow, and to the human race and its government between ENDER'S GAME and SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD?
    Finally, Orson Scott Card provides the missing story in the ENDER series that readers have been waiting for! Card writes with his characteristic straightforward style that, though simple, belies the hidden ethical dilemmas presented to the characters... more info

  • Good, but could have been better.
    I enjoyed the book overall. I'm always hungry for more from the Ender universe. I only had two real beefs:
    First, too many of the characters were flat. I had a hard time emphathizing with Valentine, for instance, which was not an issue in other novels. She didn't act right, say the things needed to make her "real". She was just a prop for Ender in this book.
    Likewise, Arkanian Delphiki (Achilles) was unbelievable as a character. He was a supposed genius who acted like a simpleton or dupe every... more info
