Enders_Game

Enders Game ENDER'S GAME Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card was an excellent book. It starts from Ender's point of view then shifts quickly to 3rd person. His entire reason for being born was to save the planet from the buggers, insect looking aliens. On a usual morning he is eating breakfast with his family (Mom, Dad, Peter, Valentine) when Colonel Graff shows up and tells him he has made it. At age six he is taken to battle school in outer space and trained to fight. At the age of six years and nine months he is promoted to an "army", the normal age of promotion is nine years. He proves to be the best soldier in anyone's "army" and is soon promoted to commander of a jinxed "army" at age nine. The youngest commander ever before this was eleven. His army is full of newbies and losers and he teaches them until he is exhausted and then teaches them more. He never loses a battle; he makes them great. In one year he is promoted directly to command school skipping the required three years at pre-command. Ender's Game uses exobiology, physics, medicine, physiology, and chemistry.
