**
Schoolboy science fiction fantasy that is as aggressive as it is repetitious. Ender Wiggin, a brilliant young boy being groomed as a military commander for a war with aliens, solves one new problem after another as he tackles a series of games and mock battles designed to teach him tactics, strategy, and command. Losing is not an option; neither is any limit to Ender’s ability. So each “test” is a fait accompli, and it’s just a matter of how many of them Orson Scott Card can cram into 300 pages. Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards for Best Novel. Must have been a bad year.
