It’s finally happening! The book that kickstarted for me a lifetime of sci-fi and fantasy is finally coming to theaters!
In all honesty, if you haven’t read Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, now is the best time to start. It’s a fantastic introduction to one of the most iconic sci-fi series ever written. While it will be difficult for the movie to do it justice, it is still worth a read.
A few years ago, humanity was almost destroyed by the Buggers, the first and only alien race to come to our awareness. Somehow humanity prevailed, but they have only retreated into the depths of space. So that we may be more prepared, the nations of Earth start a controlled breeding program to train a new and better form of leader, strategic and tactical child prodigies. Andrew ‘Ender’ Wiggin is the best of these.
This is a very powerful story for anyone regardless of genre preference, and I highly recommend following it with Ender’s Shadow. Both are among the best books I have ever read.
