n nWinner of the Hugo and Nebula Awardsn nIn order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien races 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 didnt make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.n nEnders 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. n nIs 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. Enders 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.n nOrson Scott Cards Enders Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.n nTHE ENDER UNIVERSEn nEnder series nEnders Game / Ender in Exile / Speaker for the Dead / Xenocide / Children of the Mindn nEnders Shadow series nEnders Shadow / Shadow of the Hegemon / Shadow Puppets / Shadow of the Giant / Shadows in Flightn nChildren of the Fleetn nThe First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston) nEarth Unaware / Earth Afire / Earth Awakensn nThe Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston) nThe Swarm /The Hiven nEnder novellas nA War of Gifts /First Meetingsn
