First Meetings

　　he Polish Boy' begins in the wake of the first Bugger War when the Hegemony is still desperate to recruit brilliant commanders. In five-year-old John Paul Wieczorek they have found one. Or have they? In 'Teacher's Pest' a brilliant but insufferably arrogant John Paul Wiggin-now a university student in America-falls in love with an equally brilliant graduate student named Theresa Brown. Reprinted is the landmark 'Ender's Game,' in which the child commander single-handedly challenges the full might of the Bugger fleet. It is many years past the end of the Bugger Wars in 'The Investment Counselor' when a jaded, planet-hopping 20-year-old Andrew Wiggin must contend with a greedy blackmailer threatening to expose Ender the Xenocide. Lavishly illustrated throughout, First Meetings is Orson Scott Card writing at the height of his considerable powers about his most beloved character.
