Not sure what the purpose of this book was. Maybe a bit of insight into new children in Battle School? How religious students coped? Anyway, I am very ready to be done with this long series. (

Cuando Zeck Morgan, el hijo de un ministro puritano que lo ha educado en el pacifismo, resulta seleccionado para asistir a la Escuela de Batalla, todo son problemas. Zeck se niega a participar en cualquier simulación de juegos de guerra y sus compañeros lo aislan y acaba convertido en un paria para todos, hasta que la prodigiosa capacidad de liderazgo de Ender logra reconducir la situación. Una interesante novela que nos lleva de nuevo a la Escuela de Batalla, donde empezó la brillante saga de Ender. Una longeva y premiada serie que se iniciaba en 1985 con la popular novela El juego de Ender.

Before reading the next installment of the Ender series, I wanted to read Book 5, which is a novella. Frankly, it seemed like a few missing chapters (i.e., after thought) from Ender's Game. (

Short story taking place in the cadet training area over Christmas. The idea fits in with the rest of the world -- removing all religious practices from the students there -- but still did not draw me in enough to appreciate the characters. (

Short story about Zeck, one of the children at the Battle School, and about Christmas and the giving of gifts. Zeck as pacifist to the extreme and has to handle the conflict between his religious views being discarded and forbidden, and people wanting to give gifts for Christmas.

The book is ok, but nothing special. (
