About this book

Ender Wiggin, a child prodigy is recruited by the military to attend Battle School in order to prepare for a potential alien invasion. As Ender rises through the ranks and becomes a leader among his peers, he must navigate the complex politics and brutal training that await him, all while struggling with his own identity and sense of morality. Along the way, Ender forges relationships with other students, including his closest allies, Petra and Bean, and his tormentors, Bonzo and Stilson. As the story progresses, Ender's skills are put to the ultimate test when he is chosen to lead the final battle against the alien race known as the Formics. Through Ender's experiences, the novel explores themes of leadership, identity, and the consequences of war in a futuristic and complex setting, while also providing a thrilling and thought-provoking tale of survival and sacrifice.


From the publisher

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. THE ENDER UNIVERSE Ender series
