Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the perfect general has been underway for almost as long.
Is Ender the general earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. 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. 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. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play mock battles in zero gravity. Young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut. 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. 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.
Ender thinks he is only playing computer simulated war games-in fact, he is commanding the last great fleet to earth. Andrew "Ender" Wiggins is the result of a desperate breeding experiment, combined with years of harsh and unforgiving training.
