From the Publisher

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
For the perfect holiday gift for the reader on your list, pick up this special gift edition of one of the most beloved Science Fiction novels ever written. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer simulated war games at the Battle School; he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. Ender is the most talented result of Earth''s desperate quest to create the military genius that the planet needs in its all-out war with an alien enemy. Is Ender the general Earth needs? The only way to find out is to throw the child into ever harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six years old when it begins. He will grow up fast.But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. The war with the Formics 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, Peter and Valentine, 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.

About the Author

Orson Scott Card was the first writer to receive both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel two years in a row, first for Ender''s Game and then for the sequel Speaker for the Dead. He lives with his wife and children in North Carolina.

From the Critics

"Card''''s latest novel is both a gripping tale of adventure in space and a scathing indictment of the militaristic mind."

    Ender is a Third. The third child in a family in a world where only two children are allowed. He lives on an earth which is populated beyond capacity and friction is stirring the planet and its countries into a state of unimaginable tension. Yet for now they are united, however tenatively, against a force which has captured all of humanity’s fear. The Buggers are a insect-like race that once launched an attack on planet Earth, and were closely fended off. Everyone lives in terror of the day… read more
