This edition includes stories and stories about the heroes and events of the universe of “Ender’s Game,” one of the greatest science fiction works of the 20th century. They will be interesting to the reader in their own right, being completely independent works from the pen of a recognized master of the genre; and as expanded universe elements that add layers to the main narrative; and as an opportunity to see the options the author considered when creating Ender's world. Many of these short stories later grew into full-fledged novels, some included chapters, while others disappeared into them, unraveling with plot lines and motives. A reader who closely follows the work of Orson Scott Card will certainly notice many inconsistencies and discrepancies with the main novels of the saga that were written later. So these stories are a kind of apocrypha, sometimes deviating quite far from what later came to be considered canon. The reader has a unique opportunity not only to once again come into contact with the world of Ender Wiggin, but also to trace the path that the author followed in the process of his creation.
