FROM THE PUBLISHER
Once again, the Earth is under attack. Alien "buggers" are poised for a final assault. The survival of the human species depends on a military genius who can defeat the buggers. But who? Ender Wiggin. Brilliant. Ruthless. Cunning. A tactical and strategic master. And a child. Recruited for military training by the world government, Ender's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battleschool. Among the elite recruits Ender proves himself to be a genius among geniuses. In simulated war games he excels. But is the pressure and loneliness taking its toll on Ender? Simulations are one thing. How will Ender perform in real combat conditions? After all, Battleschool is just a game. Right?

One of the best books ever written in my opinion. It is a sad story but it is a story to learn from. This is the first, like the Hobbit, of a trilogy written after that details the life of the original character. I recommend them all even those written to follow specific characters (like Ender's Shadow).
