Hi Kurt!

How far is it into the book when that phrase is used? I never
finished the book.
Fairly early on, while they're in Battle School. I think it was
against a team where they surrounded one of their teammates so he
wouldn't be immobilized, then "dropped" to the enemy's gate.
Your initial post and the phrase from the story driggered my curiosity of the film. The film seemed a bit rushed or incomplete in certain parts. Now I'm curious to fill in the gaps with the books.
I never read the sequels, I should consider it.
I did not realize that Card wrote 6 prequels (2 trilogies) to Ender's Game several years later. It's like he's creating something similar to the "trilogies" in the Star Wars saga.
