Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, is a
phenomenal book that follows the journey of a young boy named Andrew “Ender”
Wiggin. He lives in a world were aliens called the Formic, nicknamed the
“Buggers,” have invaded Earth twice, or at least tried to. Humans have pushed
them out of the solar system each time. With fear for a third invasion gripping
the overpopulated planet, the smartest children on the planet are being
recruited to go to a space station called the Battle School. The Battle School
is a place where a game–a sport, really–that takes place in zero-g teaches them
how to command armies. Ender is one of those children.
Ender’s Game is near the pinnacle of
science fiction. It is very good at keeping the reader wanting to know what
happens next. It is very exciting and has a climactic ending. Ender is a great
main character as he struggles to prove he is good at what he does. The books
in this series are Ender’s Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. There are also many minor books that are canon
in this series as well.
