The beloved science fiction classic by best-selling author Orson Scott Card.

Ender Wiggin is Battle School's latest recruit. His teachers reckon he could become a great leader: and they need one. A vast alien force is headed for Earth, it's mission - the annihiliation of all human life. He could be our only hope, but first he must survive a brutal training programme. Recruited for military training, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battle School.

Praise for Orson Scott Card

'One of the most important SF writers, judged by awards, sales or volume of discussion' LOCUS 'The Ender Saga stands out as one of the very few serious moral tales set among the stars … enthralling … an extraordinarily talented author' THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION 'The emotional punch is still as powerful as ever. Excellent' SFX 'Every volume of the Ender saga…comprises some of the most hauntingly brilliant writing of the decade' INTERZONE

Review

“Ender is special. He is a Third - a third child in a world where most families are only allowed two, a third child with a special purpose. The world is doomed unless a leader is found who can attack alien armies already on the move across space. Ender, like his brother Peter and sister Valentine, is some kind of genius. Aged only six he is sent to Battle School and begins intensive training.
