Story Summary Edit

Earth and its society have been changed irrevocably in the aftermath of Ender Wiggin's victory over the Formics. The unity forced upon the warring nations by an alien enemy has shattered. Nations are rising again, seeking territory and influence, and most of all, seeking to control the skills and loyalty of the children from the Battle School. But one person has a better idea. Peter Wiggin, Ender's older, more ruthless brother, sees that any hope for the future of Earth lies in restoring a sense of unity and purpose. And he has an irresistible call on the loyalty of Earth's young warriors. With Bean at his side, the two will reshape our future. Here is the continuing story of Bean and Petra, and the rest of Ender's Dragon Army, as they take their place in the new government of Earth.

The Third book in the Shadow Series has gone through it's share of name changes. Originally concieved as SHADOW OF DEATH, it was later changed to VALLEY OF THE SHADOW (OF DEATH) for those who may not have caught the reference to the 23rd Psalm. However, the biblical quote has been disbanded completely in the final title SHADOW PUPPETS.
