Orson Scott Card Author Biography
Nobody had ever won the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel two years in a row
until Orson Scott Card received them for Ender's Game and its sequel, Speaker
for the Dead, in 1986 and 1987. The third novel in the series, Xenocide,
was published in 1991, and the fourth and seemingly final volume, Children of
the Mind, was published in August 1996. Now a new novel in the Ender's
series, titled Ender's Shadow, was published in
August 1999 from TOR -- but it's not a sequel. Instead, it returns to the events
of Ender's Game and views them from the point of view of another
character, a street urchin named Bean. As with Rashomon or The
Alexandria Quartet, Card discovers a new story in the midst of the old, when
seeing it...
Name Pronunciation
