Ender's Shadow series ends (?) on a high note Orson Scott Card developed the Ender series from a short story about the Battle School and its genius youngsters who were bred and educated to be the Genghis Khans and Alexanders needed to save the world from an invasion.The parallel series of sequels starting with Ender's Shadow was brilliantly conceived, long after a trilogy was written about Ender and his sojourn on the Hive Queen's planet.The series continued the lives of Ender's Jeesh (close cohorts) and followed Bean the genius from Rotterdam's slums and Ender's successor.
