Den mere kendte science fiction-roman fra 1985 er en komplet historie og skrevet som optakt til Speaker for the Dead-fortsættelsen.
I en fremtid, hvor en højt udviklet menneskelig civilisation koloniserer rummet, er de i deres udforskning stødt på en insektlignende intelligensrace kaldet summerne. Mennesket og summerne har allerede én gang før været i krig, en krig hvor menneskeheden mod alle odds modstod summernes invasion. Da en ny krig er forestående, bliver romanens hovedperson, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, i en alder af seks år udvalgt som det militære geni, der måske er den menneskelige races eneste håb. Sammen med andre udvalgte gennemgår Ender, i rummet, umulige fysiske og psykiske udfordringer, hvis formål er at forberede ham på kampen imod summerne.

I rate this book as a 10; not because of the dialogue or the characters (who piss me off from time to time), or plot points or plot twists, but simply because it's one of the most unique stories I've ever read. I wanted to like it and it lived up to the hype. The story is not told how traditional stories are told. There is an exceedingly large exposition with lots of character development which you then have to have a firm understanding of in order to get the wrap up. The final parts are almost self told and filled in by what you know about the characters and only makes sense because of what we know. This in effect goes to shorten the whole novel by filling in the ending yourself and this approach did not really have any drawbacks and the story still felt full and fleshed out. As far as art styles go this was a 10/10. As far as complex ideas or new thoughts being brought to the table ... not so much // start for the adventure, stay for the art, and don't worry about the lack of narrator insight or commentary onto human relations or the nature of the universe state p

Fesselnd. Ich konnte es nicht weglegen. Ich kann gut verstehen, warum dieses Buch viele Leute inspiriert hat. Beim Vorwort des Autors hat mit gut gefallen, die Geschichte des Buches umrissen zu bekommen.
