-	The Giant's Drink was a part of the [[Mind Game]]. It was thought the Giant's Drink could measure how suicidal a student was. In the game, there was a giant who asked the player to drink from one of the two cups in front of him. He said that he would take them to [[Fairyland]]. Normally, one could never get past this part, but [[Ender Wiggin]], instead of choosing between the two poisoned drinks, out thought his enemy and killed the giant by having his character burrow into the giant's eye. As the giant's corpse fell to the ground, Ender's character found himself in the very same Fairyland that the Giant had promised him.	+	The Giant's Drink was a part of the [[Mind Game]].

	The rest of the book deals with Peter Wiggin working to create a world government free of war through his [[Free People of Earth]] alliance, while Caliph Alai of the Muslim League and [[Virlomi]], now the virtual goddess of India, have other plans for "uniting" the world under them. Against this back-drop of world political machinations by the former [[Battle School]] children is the extremely personal story of Bean, who because of his genetic modifications, finds himself running out of time before he dies, along with his wife, Petra, struggling to find their missing children.

-	The ending finds Bean and Petra with eight children, the ninth implanted in a woman who believes Achilles is a great man and thinks that their child is his. The woman decides to leave Earth to live in a colony where she can raise Bean's child. Bean takes the children who have [[Anton's Key]] (3 of 9) and flies away on a starship provided by the Fleet to achieve relativistic speeds and therefore stay alive long enough to find a cure (although Bean does not think that a cure will ever be found), leaving Petra on Earth. After a heartbreaking letter good-bye, Petra finds out that Peter loves her, and so marries him so that her children will have a father. They also have five children together. It is unknown whether Bean is ever heard from again, although by the time of Peter's death no progress has been made on finding a cure to Bean's [[Anton's Key \| giantism]]. In the final chapter of the novel, Peter speaks with Ender via [[ansible]], giving the [[Speaker for the Dead (Occupation)\|Speaker for the Dead]] all he needs to write ''[[The Hegemon (Book)\|The Hegemon]]''.	+	The ending finds Bean and Petra with eight children, the ninth implanted in a woman who believes Achilles is a great man and thinks that their child is his.
