Book Description

Publisher's Summary
First Meetings is a 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", a novella written especially for this collection,
begins in the years 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", also 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, 20-year-old
Ender Wiggin wanders incognito form planet to planet as a fugitive,
until a blackmailing tax inspector compromises his identity and threatens
to expose Ender the Xenocide.
Also here is the original landmark "Ender's Game", which first appeared
in 1977.
First Meetings is Orson Scott Card at the height of his considerable
powers, featuring his most compelling character.

What the Critics Say
"Character, setting, plot: Card does them all right, and makes it look
effortless....For newcomers to Ender's universe and long-time fans,
this book will hit the spot and whet the appetite for more." (School
Library Journal)
"Even those who are intimately familiar with the concepts of the Game
from later Ender books will be struck anew by Card's virtuosity. His
powerful voice and startlingly clear vision will draw many new readers
into a lifelong love of science fiction. This accessible collection
will impress even non-sci-fi buffs, besides being a must-have for Ender
saga devotees." (Publishers Weekly) "These stories demonstrate the assured
scene setting, apparently effortlessly sustained suspense, and moral
preoccupation with the responsibilities of kinship and friendship that
distinguishes Ender's entire saga." (Booklist)
