ENDER'S GAME

u003cpu003eu003cbu003eWinner of the Hugo and Nebula Awardsu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eIn 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.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eEnder'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. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eIs 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.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eOrson Scott Card'su003ciu003e Ender's Gameu003c/iu003e is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eTHE ENDER UNIVERSEu003cbru003eu003cbru003eEnder seriesu003cbru003eu003ciu003eEnder's Gameu003c/iu003e /u003ciu003e Ender in Exile u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eSpeaker for the Dead u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eXenocide u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eChildren of the Mindu003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eEnder's Shadow seriesu003cbru003eu003ciu003eEnder's Shadow u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eShadow of the Hegemon u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eShadow Puppets u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eShadow of the Giant u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eShadows in Flightu003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ciu003eChildren of the Fleetu003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eThe First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)u003cbru003eu003ciu003eEarth Unaware u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eEarth Afire u003c/iu003e/ u003ciu003eEarth Awakensu003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eThe Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)u003cbru003eu003ciu003eThe Swarm u003c/iu003e/u003ciu003eThe Hiveu003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eEnder novellasu003cbru003eu003ciu003eA War of Gifts u003c/iu003e/u003ciu003eFirst Meetingsu003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e
