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.

评分《 安德的游戏》这本书,在我第一眼看到封面的时候,我直觉是一本成人的专业书,而且是很不容易懂的那种。我对这种书一般是敬而远之的,因为自己水平有限,买了也看不懂,就不浪费作者的心血我的钱财了。后来,在豆瓣上看到书评,几乎可以用好评如潮来形容。从书评内容来看...
评分一般来说,由于其独特的故事背景和写作上的诉求,奇幻文学是属于特定年龄层面人群的读物。比起庞大的奇幻文学全体,适合大多数人来读的此类只占有一小部分。他们也大多被奉为经典,比如《哈利波特》等。《安德的游戏》像极了罗琳女士的作品,他们都是关于一个男孩如何成为一个...
