ENDERS GAME - ORSON SCOTT CARD KARTONIERT (TB)

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula AwardsIn 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.Ender'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. Is 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.
