About this product

Product Information

From New York Times bestselling author Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game -- adapted to film in 2013 starring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford -- is the classic Hugo and Nebula award-winning science fiction novel of a young boy's recruitment into the midst of an interstellar war. In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

    One of my favorite books

    Orson Scott Card's main gift is character development, which you can see in the Ender series. I love how in this story you feel like you really get to know and understand the characters, especially the main ones, but some of the minor too. Now, I don't really think a description of the story premise does it justice, but I'll give a short synopsis anyhow: In this book, you follow a boy named Andrew (Ender) who, is the child genius in military tactics that the government's been waiting for. He's taken to a school where he can learn to use these gifts through a series of battle games so that he can, well...Save the world, of course (this is a science fiction book, after all). I'll also note that if you like this book, the next book you should read is ...

    Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

    This Book is absolutely amazing on SO many levels. It is the first novel I will give my children when they are old enough. That's how strongly i feel about it. I am NOT a fantasy geek or Sci-Fi person. I'm an Artist and Photographer, just a regular joe, that reads before bed because it helps me sleep. This book absolutely WILL change your life, and the way that you view the world. It is a very simple book, easy to read (all of Orson's books are). It hooks you to where you won't want to put the book down until it's done. It brings you into this whole new world, that is so close to our own, and opens your eyes to what very well could be in our own future. This book will force you to search your inner self, analyze your own life, and will make you a better ...

    Ender's Game

    Ender's Game demonstrates Card's enormous talent in writing. The style of writing is not complicated, mostly succinct in approach and very quick to read. The book itself is a bit strange to explain. Card seems to tap into the military mind and militaristic system and exploits an interest in it, also the fundamental nature of human beings. [SPOILER]: However, near the end of the book, both of these things start to turn incredibly unrealistic and almost completely nonsensical. "Peter" somehow becomes a benevolent ruler after a childhood of murdering smaller things and torturing siblings. The alien race somehow did not figure out a way to communicate with humans withing a span of eighty years. These things, among others, make the quick and strangely bleeding heart ending a bit confusing. The ...

    An all-time Se-Fi classic, a book to enjoy the rest of your life

    An all-time classic. While the expansive story alone creates an exciting read, it's the soul-searching questions boiling out of the narrative that will grab you. This edition includes an introduction from Card looking back on the genesis of the story and the book's impact on a number of young readers who were moved to describe its importance in their lives. That's right, this book can be life affirming for youngsters bright enough to sense the darkness we all face at times growing up. Without ever belittling the military, and with no preaching, the story relentlessly dissects intended and unintended consequences of military solutions to disagreements between populations. Suitable for bright youngsters age 10 and up. Should be suggested reading for all pre-teens and teens, and ...
