Ender's Game

Andrew "Ender" Wiggins is the result of a desperate breeding experiment, combined with years of harsh and unforgiving training. Ender thinks he is only playing computer simulated war games--in fact, he is commanding the last great fleet to earth. In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut. Young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings 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.

Die atemberaubende Geschichte eines hochbegabten Jungen, der an einem Intelligenzspiel teilnimmt, nicht ahnend, dass er damit den Ausgang eines galaktischen Krieges beeinflusst. Ein mehrfach preisgekrönter Kultroman. Orson Scott Card wurde in Washington geboren und wuchs in Arizona, Kalifornien und Utah auf.

  • ""Andrew Wiggin, dit Ender, n'est pas un garçon comme les autres. Depuis sa naissance, ses faits et gestes sont observés par l'intermédiaire d'un moniteur greffé dans son cerveau. Car ceux qui l'ont conçu ambitionnent de faire de lui le plus grand général de tous les temps, le seul capable de sauver ses semblables de l'invasion des doryphores. Et alors qu'Ender suit pas à pas le dur chemin de son apprentissage de guerrier, ses créateurs mesurent la gravité de leur choix : en donnant naissance à un monstre, n'ont-ils pas damné l'humanité elle-même ?" [Source : 4e de couverture]."
