Books with title Quicklet - Ender's Game

Softcover Pages are clean with tanning, binding is tight, some wear on edges and cover. We do our best to accurately describe the condition of items that we sell, but we are not the original owners of our items and we are not able to inspect every page so we may miss something. Older items tend to have some degree of tanning and if we state that an item is an ex-library copy, expect the normal stamps and stickers that are typical for those items. These are all used items unless otherwise specified and although we find items that look new, the majority have been used. So, expect some wear/creasing from normal use. We always ship your package in a timely manner. Unfortunately we have no control over carrier shipping time. Our goal is your 5 star feedback and we will do everything we can to ensure you are happy with your purchase.

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards 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” Wiggin 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 at 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 quest for 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. Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
