Afterwards, all the terraformed Formic worlds were open to settlement by humans, and the International Fleet became the arm of the Ministry of Colonization, run by Hirum Graff. MinCol now runs Fleet School on the old Battle School station, and still recruits very smart kids to train as leaders of colony ships, and colonies. <p/>Dabeet Ochoa is a very smart kid. Top of his class in every school. But he doesn't think he has a chance at Fleet School, because he has no connections to the Fleet. That he knows of. At least until the day that Colonel Graff arrives at his school for an interview. <p/>THE ENDER UNIVERSE <p/> Ender series<br> <i>Ender's Game </i>/ <i>Speaker for the Dead </i>/ <i>Xenocide </i>/ <i>Children of the Mind </i>/<i> Ender in Exile </i>/ <i>Children of the Fleet</i> <p/> Ender's Shadow series<br> <i>Ender's Shadow </i>/ <i>Shadow of the Hegemon </i>/ <i>Shadow Puppets </i>/ <i>Shadow of the Giant </i>/ <i>Shadows in Flight</i> <p/> The First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)<br> <i>Earth Unaware </i>/ <i>Earth Afire </i>/ <i>Earth Awakens</i> <p/> The Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)<br> <i>The Swarm </i>/ <i>The Hive</i> <p/> Ender novellas<br> <i>A War of Gifts </i>/ <i>First Meetings</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for </b><i><b>Children of the Fleet</b></i> <p/>"Orson Scott Card's best since <i>Ender's Game</i>."--<i>Forbes</i> <p/>"Series fans will enjoy this."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Dabeet Ochoa is the kind of character who will stick in your mind."--<i>Bibliosanctum </i>(3-1/2 stars out of 5) <p/>"Exciting and engrossing."--<i>Booktrib <p/></i>"Don't miss this one."--<i>Book Loons<br></i><br>"Fast-paced, exciting space adventure."--<i>Book Wraiths</i> <p/>"A worthy successor to the world of Ender's Game."--<i>Den of Geek</i> (starred review) <p/><b>Praise for the Ender series</b><br>"<i>Ender's Game</i> is an affecting novel."--<i>New York Times Book Review</i> on <i>Ender's Game</i> <p/>"Card is a master storyteller."--<i>The Seattle Times </i>on <i>Ender's Game</i> <p/>"As always, everyone will be struck by the power of Card's children, always more and less than human, perfect yet struggling, tragic yet hopeful, wondrous, and strange."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on <i>Ender's Shadow</i> <p/>"A completely gripping story."--<i>The Toronto Star</i> on <i>Speaker for the Dead</i> <p/>"Card has raised to a fine art the creation of suspense by means of ethical dilemmas."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> on <i>Xenocide</i> <p/><b>Praise for the Ender's Shadow series</b> <p/>"The publishing equivalent of a Star Wars blockbuster."--<i>New York Daily News</i> on<i> Ender's Shadow</i> <p/> "Ender's Shadow is entertaining, fast-paced science fiction.
