Book ID/图书代码： 01360005B03743

English Summary/英文概要： The War is over, won by Ender Wiggin and his team of brilliant child-warriors. The enemy is destroyed, the human race is saved. Ender himself refuses to return to the planet, but his crew has gone home to their families, scattered across the globe. The battle school is no more.

But with the external threat gone, the Earth has become a battlefield once more. The children of the Battle School are more than heros; they are potential weapons that can bring power to the countries that control them. One by one, all of Ender’s Dragon Army are kidnapped. Only Bean escapes; and he turns for help to Ender’s brother Peter.

Peter Wiggin, Ender’s older brother, has already been manipulating the politics of Earth from behind the scenes. With Bean’s help, he will eventually rule the world.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 战争结束了，安德•维金和他的儿童勇士团队取得了胜利。敌人被消灭了，人类得救了。安德自己拒绝返回地球，但他的船员已经回到了分散在全球各地的家人家中。战斗学校已经不复存在了。

但随着外部威胁的消失，地球再次成为战场。战斗学校的孩子不仅仅是英雄；它们是潜在的武器，可以为控制它们的国家带来力量。一个接一个，安德的龙族军队都被绑架了。只有比恩逃走了；他向安德的弟弟彼得求助。

安德的哥哥彼得•威金已经在幕后操纵着地球政治。在比恩的帮助下，他最终将统治世界。(WYL)

Awards/获奖情况：“角色都是一流的，快节奏的动作场面一个接一个令人毛骨悚然……《霸权阴影》是如此完美地融入了《安德经典》的其余部分，读者会完全被迷住。”

“《霸权阴影》是一本理想的书，你可以用它开始你的科幻小说之年。”——落基山新闻报》

“这部优秀的《安德的影子》续篇讲述了小说中的主人公比恩(现在是一个年轻人)与卡德的招牌——超级真实的道德和伦理困境——搏斗的故事。在一个战争与战争之间的世界里，充满了野心勃勃的国家竞相瓜分邻国，战争学校的孩子是一个国家所能拥有的最强大的资产。最伟大的孩子“安德”•威金去开拓一个新世界了。第二名是比恩，他被一个年轻的精神变态阿喀琉斯追杀，阿喀琉斯计划在安德士兵的帮助下征服地球。安德的哥哥彼得冷酷无情，无法与学校抗争，但他也致力于统治这个星球，不过是通过更和平的政治手段。比恩必须决定，是否成为彼得的影子，并引导他成为霸主，将有助于击败阿喀琉斯，如果一个男孩的狂妄自大，将比另一个男孩的世界更美好。孩子们在战争中玩耍，仿佛这是一个游戏，让人想起卡德最著名的作品《安德的游戏》，它同时获得雨果奖和星云奖。书中年轻主人公的复杂性和严肃的处理方式将吸引许多霸权系列的忠实读者，而卡德完美的散文、快速的节奏和政治阴谋将吸引间谍小说、惊悚小说和科幻小说的成年粉丝。(1月2日)预测:信用卡大受欢迎;这是他最好的小说之一。就像《安德的游戏》一样，它将会在类型列表中飙升，，或许还会吸引新的用户。托尔将通过一个30万美元的广告/宣传活动来确保这一点，其中包括9个城市的作家之旅。”——《出版人周刊》

"The characterizations are first class, and the fast-paced action features one hair-raising episode after another....Shadow of the Hegemon is so nicely integrated into the rest of the Ender canon that readers will be completely enthralled."---Booklist

"Shadow of the Hegemon is an ideal book with which to start your science fiction year."---Rocky Mountain News

This fine follow-up to Ender’s Shadow features that novel’s hero, Bean (now a young man), wrestling with Card’s trademark: superbly real moral and ethical dilemmas. In a world between wars, filled with ambitious countries jockeying to carve up their neighbors, the children of Battle School are the strongest asset a nation can possess. The greatest of the children, "Ender" Wiggin, has gone off to colonize a new world. The second best, Bean, is hunted by a young psychopathic genius, Achilles, who schemes to conquer Earth with the aid of Ender’s soldiers. Peter, Ender’s brother, who was too ruthless to make it to Battle School, also works to rule the planet, but through more peaceful, political means. Bean must decide if becoming Peter’s shadow and guiding him to become Hegemon will help defeat Achilles, and if one boy’s megalomania will make a better world than another’s. Children playing at war as if it were a game recalls Card’s most famous work, Ender’s Game, which won both a Hugo and a Nebula award. The complexity and serious treatment of the book’s young protagonists will attract many sophisticated YA readers, while Card’s impeccable prose, fast pacing and political intrigue will appeal to adult fans of spy novels, thrillers and science fiction. (Jan. 2) Forecast: Card is immensely popular; this is one of his best novels. Like Ender’s Game, it will soar on genre lists and should flirt with, and perhaps woo, regular lists. Tor will ensure this through a $300,000 ad/promo campaign including a nine-city author tour. ---From Publishers Weekly
