Orson Scott Card is one of the leaders of American science fiction and the winner of numerous awards. Including several top-notch Hugo and Nebula awards. The series of novels about Ender Wiggin, a young man who changed the future of humanity, belongs to the best works of the writer. In “fantasy” book ratings, “Ender’s Game,” the first book in the series, invariably finds itself in the top five in the entire history of the genre and even often finds itself in the leaders, leaving behind the books of such science fiction giants as Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury, and other famous authors. The continuation of the Ender saga consists of novels that reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the great struggle and victory of Mankind, which allowed him to break out into the vastness of the Universe. “Shadow of the Hegemon” and “Shadow Theatre,” included in this collection, tell about the dramatic events on Earth after the end of the war with the buggers and the expulsion of Ender Wiggin.
