SIGNED!!: Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card (1999)Ender's Shadow is being dubbed as a parallel novel to Orson Scott Card's Hugo and Nebula Award winning Ender's Game. By "parallel," Card means that Shadow begins and ends at roughly the same time as Game, and it chronicles many of the same events. In fact, the two books tell an almost identical story of brilliant children being trained in the orbiting Battle School to lead humanity's fleets in the final war against alien invaders known as the Buggers.
