As you may already know, we’re publishing a collection of essays on Ender’s Game in February 2013, edited by Orson Scott Card. (You can find out more about the contents and sign up for news and updates at our book page.)

Alongside those essays, we’re putting together some Q&As with Orson Scott Card to add throughout the book. Why is the Battle Room a cube? Why did the military recruit their soldiers as children? How does the queen survive until Ender finds her?

Here’s your chance to get in on it: Card wants to give you the opportunity to ask him anything you’ve ever wondered about Ender’s Game!

Ask your question in the comments below.

We’ll publish as many answers as we can in the final book, and give you guys some sneak previews this fall/winter leading up to the book release over at our Tumblr (so make sure to follow!).

You have until midnight Eastern time on July 1 July 7 to ask. (Time extended due to technical difficulties over on Tumblr.) Feel free to ask more than one! And we’d love if you’d help us spread the word to other Ender fans.

So: What have you always wanted to know about Ender’s Game?

ETA: We’re talking book only. No movie questions, guys; sorry!
