Once again lots have happened since the last post, Ender was moved into a new planet that took three months to get to. This is where he is going to command school, while here he is in his room when a mysterious older man is sitting on his floor. This man he finds out is who won the first invasion and is the only reason humans still exist, his name is Mazer Rackham. He is going to become Ender’s teacher until he is ready, he gives Ender his old squad again with the best of the best. They hold their daily practices and battles, and Ender during this whole time follows every order Mazer tells him, when he says eat he eats. Ender gets worried about his health when he can’t sleep and is constantly worrying if he’s good enough or not. Then one day Mazer says this is his final test and battle. If he wins he’ll had made it farther than any student before, if he fails it’s all over. The final battle is at the same simulator he has been using, but now all of his superiors are there watching. Ender finally wins the battle after taking the largest risk he has taken yet, but he did it and all of his superiors are screaming with excitement. Mazer now tells him none of this was simulation and that all of this was real, he was really controlling the ship and he did it, he killed all of the buggers. Ender is a hero to all of the human race but he is kept at this base in space for safety, then the book ends with him finding something unusual. He found a bugger that was still alive and he took it with him preserving it. There is a sequel to Ender’s Game, but I haven’t read it so I’ll make my own still. Because the last book ended with Ender and his sister Valentine travelling to new planets and trying to colonize, I think he would have to change personality wise. In all of Ender’s game he was constantly in high pressure situations with firearms. In this sequel, he would be much more calm because he’s with his favorite person in the world, but there would be moments where he would have to use his instincts and skills. I think his main conflict would be the human race. He should at the beginning of the story raise the bugger he got at the end of the last book which is also the last one he knows about. But, as he’s raising it he should stumble upon a colony of them who are still in hiding and the one he’s raising can be the last queen they’ll ever have. Because, Ender thinks that lots of humans, or at least the ones in the government, are evil killers he’ll want to go back and take over showing how good the buggers can be. Since the last few human interactions with buggers were wars, no one will want them being accepted, that’s where the war starts between the buggers and Ender’s colony on one side, and the humans who aren’t accepting on the other side. I imagine that lots of the plot is Ender finding who is really on his side in this war. This sequel I think should be the end of this series, and it’ll end with no one left, just the animals on earth are alive. I would recommend this book to a friend because there were lots of unexpected events/things the teachers did that made it extremely interesting. I’ll comment on Nia and Nadine’s blog.

That sounds like a really interesting end to the book. Your sequel sounds like it would be a really interesting book.
