Review by Patrick Rapa, eMusic
"Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender. The best you can do is choose to be controlled by good people, by people who love you." —Valerie Wiggin
Even in a society overrun by precociousness — where seemingly normal children study military strategy and argue political theory with top scholars — Ender Wiggin is special. He's a six-year-old genius, a born leader, an excellent fighter, a natural at combat simulation video games, a whiz at zero-gravity shootouts. No wonder the Earth's loosely unified spacefleets are heaping their hopes on his tiny shoulders when it comes to winning the war against the horrible Bugger race. Of course, brilliant, conflicted little scamp that he is, Ender soon becomes conscious of the gravity of his mission and the extent to which he's being used and manipulated. Or so he thinks; his training is full of surprises, and the biggest shock comes last. It's a doozy. Ender's Game — divvied up among several distinct narrators for the audiobook — is Orson Scott Card's masterwork and a spectacular example of literary sci-fi pushing its limits.
