First Meetings in Ender's Universe

Four interconnected stories trace the origins of key figures in the Ender universe, from the first Polish contact with the Formics to Ender's parents meeting at Battle School. Card provides essential backstory that deepens the mythology of his universe while standing alone as compelling narratives. These formative encounters set the stage for everything that follows in the saga.
