Ender's Game is a 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind after two conflicts with the Formics, an insectoid alien species they dub the "buggers". In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, children, including the novel's protagonist, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, are trained from a very young age by putting them through increasingly difficult games, including some in zero gravity, where Ender's tactical genius is revealed. The book originated as a short story of the same name, published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact. The novel was published on January 15, 1985. Later, by elaborating on characters and plotlines depicted in the novel, Card was able to write additional books in the Ender's Game series. Card also released an updated version of Ender's Game in 1991, changing some …

ender again

i read ender's game a long time ago. i recently saw the movie adaptation. it was correct. i still remembered the book ending so no surprises there.

i had completely forgotten that there were a few passages about events on earth (the movie zapped those too) i also don't remember how i felt about the book the first time. that means i didn't hate it i think i appreciated more this time. maybe

Review of Ender's Game

Compared to my previous two books, Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, felt quite fast and quick, but that doesn’t mean the story doesn’t develop just as well as the books I read last year, not at all!

The state of the world is not a good one, Humanity hasn’t really conquered the stars and flourished just yet, other than a few stations. Earth has been at war with the buggers, some insectoid alien race that had come in contact with the planet twice already. The first time it was just exploration, and Humanity managed to hold out. The second time, was colonization, and we almost lost. Thankfully, the genius strategist Mazer Rackham managed to stop them and became the hero of the story. We lived happily ever after.

But decades have passed since then, and a third invasion is on the horizon.

Now, kids are being …

Review of "Le Cycle d'Ender, tome 1 : La Stratégie Ender" on 'Goodreads'

Je ne m'attendais absolument pas à lire un bouquin de ce genre .. et c'est une très bonne surprise. Mais commençons par le début.
Sur une Terre futuriste, le petit Ender - pardon, Andrew - grandit comme troisième fils dans une famille dont l'aîné a été recalé de l'académie de la flotte internationale. Cette académie forme les officiers pour la guerre contre les Doryphores. Les Doryphores ? Une espèce extra-terrestre vaguement insectoïde qui, par deux fois, a tenté d'envahir la Terre. Alors forcément, la Terre vit dans la peur paranoïaque d'une autre invasion.
Heureusement, les penseurs de l'armée ont une stratégie, et ont déjà choisi leur commandant en chef pour l'appliquer : ce sera Ender. Il va donc rejoindre dès ses 6 ans cette académie, pour y devenir le meilleur stratège que la guerre ait connu.
Dit comme ça, ça a l'air bien. Sauf que les soldats qui dirigent cette …

Review of "Ender's Game" on 'Goodreads'

Ender’s Game has long since become a staple in the Science Fiction community and has often been touted a literary classic. Written by Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game touches the reader in a way that many books have tried and failed. A completely character driven story, Card weaves a tail that sucks you in by the sheer desire to know what happens to Ender and how he will make it through. Poor Ender.

Ender’s Game is the story of Andrew (Ender) Wiggins, a young genius that is taken from his family with hopes of him being able to save the Earth from destruction. The threat on Earth comes from a group of beings known as “buggers”. Ender enters the elite Battle School to be introduced to battle tactics, group dynamics, and leadership skills. Through the trials the adults setup for Ender, he finds himself conflicted by what he really is …
