Twice the buggers - as we call them
- invaded our solar System and tried to annihilate us. We defeated them in the last war by a fluke, but we won't trust to luck again. When they return - and they will return, even if décades go by and the horror fades into myth - we must be ready... ENDER'S GAME (An expansion of the novelette of the same name). He was the third of his parents' children to be monitored. Peter, his older brother, had been too uncontrollably violent; Valentine, his sister, seemed incapable of violence altogether. So they pinned their hopes on Andrew Wiggin
- nicknamed Ender because of Valentine's childish mispronunciation of his name - and took him to Battle School to begin his military éducation. He was six years old. Only Earth's best made it to Battle School, where student armies fought mock wars in zéro gravity... "games" intended to develop the tactics and stratégies human soldiers would need against the alien enemy. The training was tough, but for Ender they made it tougher still - changing the rules of the game without warning, forcing him to stand alone without friends to rely on, pushing his natural abilities to the limit...
