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.

Wow.:
This is an epic masterpiece. In short, if that was my review for this book, I would stand by it for all time. I haven't come across a great fiction book to read in a while, and today I decided to just "try" Ender's Game for perhaps a few chapters. A few hours later, I rested the book and I was astonished. The story is extremely captivating, and the reader can feel Ender's life through so many different moments. We sympathize with him when he's glad, we're happy for him when he succeeds. Scott has... more info
Seminal Saga:
Once you have met "Ender" Wiggans you will never forget him or his remarkable journey. I hope that there will never come a time in human history that we would require a child like Andrew "Ender" Wiggans.
Read this story and then read about Bean, whose life and trials make Ender's life seem like a day at the park.
