I'd heard a lot about this book for a long time.  I'd read a book by Orson Scott Card in the 80s that made me not want to read any more books by him but I finally picked up a copy of this book.  It was great.  After reading this book, I've been reading pretty much everything Card has written.  This edition has an added chapter to it from the original.

ENDER'S GAME

"Intense is the word for Ender's Game.  Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species.  To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses - and then training them in the arts of war....  The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games.'...  Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses, he wins all the games....  He is smart enough to know that time is running out.  But is he smart enough to save the planet?" - The New York Times

"Now, in this novel, Card fulfills his early promise... and more." - Ben Bova

"Ender's Game is a guaranteed crowd pleaser." - The Globe and Mail

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
