Ender's Game (Ender Wiggin #1)
By:
- Synopsis
- Ender Wiggin is a very bright young boy with a powerful skill, one of a group of children bred to be military geniuses and save Earth from an inevitable attack by aliens, known here as "buggers." Ender becomes unbeatable in war games and seems poised to lead Earth to triumph over the buggers. Twists, surprises and interesting characters elevate this novel into status as a bona fide page turner. It captured the Nebula and Hugo Awards. "Card understands the human condition and has things of real value to say about it. He tells the truth well--ultimately the only criterion of greatness. Ender's Game will still be finding new readers when ninety-nine percent of the books published this year are completely forgotten." --Gene Wolfe "A gripping tale of adventure in space and a scathing indictment of the military mind. Recommended." --Library Journal "The games are fierce and consistently exciting. The cast... offers memorable characters.... And the aliens leave an intriguing heritage to mankind." --Locus

This story is beyond amazing. It's a must-read for almost all ages... Card knows what his readers want and has given it to us in about 5-6 books on one side of the story and in the alternate saga "The Shadow Series" he has provided 4 books. Again a must-read. :)0
