In the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, humanity lives under constant fear of a distant alien race called the buggers. Ender Wiggin is a prodigious boy chosen to attend the Battle School, a spaceship in which students learn skills necessary to be able to fight the buggers in the future. Ender quickly rises in stature and reaches unheard-of fame within the Battle School; it is clear that he is the last hope for humanity. Meanwhile, his also prodigious brother Peter forms political schemes on Earth. Eventually, Ender must face the buggers, who (seemingly) desire to destroy the human race. I would recommend this excellent book to anyone who enjoys reading, especially fans of science fiction. As long as you’re okay with violence that you might expect from a science-fiction “”war”” story, most people should find Ender’s Game an engrossing read.
This book is also a lot less simplistic than it may seem from the description; Ender’s Game should be as entertaining to intellectuals as it should be to people who like violent action movies.”
