... lately in a bookshop. The book was in a serious state, cover survived only because it wasn't worst paperback. It was a sci-fi anthology, I dunno who made that. I didn't want to buy that.
But then I saw "Orson" while skipping it through. And was astonished to find that it's a novelette about Ender entering adulthood (I mean, he was eighteen, not that he wasnt adult before [Wink] ) and is supposed to pay his taxes after he arrived on a planet which name I dont recall. I dont remember the title either. After his intersolar flight he had many shares of thousands of companies. And then Ender met Jane, thinking that it was a complex advertisment program. Wow, I've ever heard of it before... Have you?

Yeah, it's called Investment Counselor. It's in OSC's First Meetings(and may have been published before that too but I don't know).

You may also want to check out this

By the way, anyone else notice that the hardcover edition says, "...In the Enderverse" while the paperback says, "...In Ender's Universe"? What's up with that?

Wow, there are lots more I see. Pitty that probably none of them can be found in my country. Perhaps in some sci-fi focused little bookshops I know not [Smile]

"The Polish Boy" jest we wstępie do najnowszego wydania Gry Endera. "Teacher's Pest" ukazało się niedawno w Nowej Fantastyce (po tytułem "Teresa").

I feel a little silly trying to join a conversation I can't understand, but I heard several of OSC's short stories on a tape (not the Enderverse stories) and one of them was "The Elephants of Posnan" which takes place in Poland. Have you folks read those? Christie (I'm guessing you're from Poland, Kama. Am I right?)

If you're looking for OSC short stories, you'll find some available in the library section of this site. I'd thought that "Elephants of Posnan" was there, but apparently I found it somewhere else online.

For those who care, if my eastern european languages are up to snuff, Kama said something like

"The Polish Boy" was in the introduction to the newest (?) (Polish?) version of Ender's Game. "Teacher's Pest" appeared recently in New Fantastics (magazine?) (under the title "Teresa").

(Kama, how was my translation?)

Never heard of "The elephants of Poznan", ale czytałem i to z wielkim zainteresowaniem "Chłopca z Polski", był dołączony do "Gry Endera", tak jak piszesz. Jest to jak dotąd jedyny "apokryf" [Wink] który przeczytałem.
Kama you told me you dont speak Polish well. And you're simply perfect [Smile] [Smile] [Smile] [Smile]
