Book Description
================
Andrew "Ender" Wiggins, a brilliant leader and tactician and destined
to save Earth by destroying an entire alien civilization at the age
of 12, was first introduced in Card's "Ender's Game" in Analog magazine
(1977). That novella, plus three other stories (including one never
before published) make up this appealing and entertaining collection
of tales, all dealing with first meetings that played significant roles
in the life of Ender Wiggins.
"The Polish Boy" introduces his extraordinary father, John Paul, who manages at
the age of six to trick the Hegemony into bringing his entire family from Poland to
the United States.
"Teacher's Pest" is the story of how John Paul meets and romances the equally
brilliant graduate student Theresa Brown. Finally,
"The Investment Counselor," a mysterious accounting program named Jane appears
just when 20-year-old Andrew Wiggins needs help figuring out both his taxes and
what to do with the rest of his life.
All four stories use the future setting as a framework to explore various issues of
religion, government control, population limits, education, and moral responsibility.
Character, setting, plot-Card does them all right, and makes it look effortless.
The graphic novelesque illustrations will appeal to teens. For newcomers to Ender's
universe and long-time fans, this book will hit the spot and whet the
appetite for more.

First Meetings (2002)
Four Stories from the Enderverse
(A book in the Ender Wiggin series)
A collection of stories by Orson Scott Card
In July 1977, "Ender's Game" appeared as a novelette in Analog magagzine. The
science fiction community immediately embraced it, nominating it for a Hugo
Award, and when Orson Scott Card turned it into a novel in 1985, it won both the
Hugo and Nebula Award. Now, twenty-five years later, First Meetings celebrates
"Ender's Game" by re-releasing that original story with three others, two of
them never before available on audio and an original dramatization never
published anywhere.
