Ender's Game

Sunday, October 4, 2009


Ender's game, by top science fiction writer Orson Scott Card, is one of the first books in the Ender series. It was first published in 1977 in Analog Science Fiction and Fact. It begins with Ender's start in childhood as he is monitored by the IF (International Fleet). His older brother, Peter, and younger sister, Valentine (Val), are left behind as he is taken to the the Battle School for training in hopes to destroy the for mics known as the "Buggers". There, he is introduced to several obstacles and emotional traps. What does the IF have planned for these boys that are very intelligent? Does the human race succeed at destructing the Buggers? They have there hope wrapped up in children to accomplish this, but at the same time during Battle school, the children are made to believe that they are just playing a "Game". Does Ender Wiggin really think this, however? The ending of this book is wrapped up very nicely. I found it very interesting, otherwise, I would not be writing about it. I could drag out the synopsis, but thought just to give you a brief glance. You can go to http://www.hatrack.com/ and read the first chapter. I listened to the book via audio, which makes the experience much more livable and real.
