Summary:
Once again, the Earth is under attack. Alien "buggers" are poised for a final assault. The survival of the human species depends on a military genius who can defeat the buggers. But who? Ender Wiggin. Brilliant. Ruthless. Cunning. A tactical and strategic master. And a child. Recruited for military training by the world government, Ender's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battle School. Among the elite recruits Ender proves himself to be a genius among geniuses. In simulated war games he excels. But is the pressure and loneliness taking its toll on Ender? Simulations are one thing. How will Ender perform in real combat conditions? After all, Battle School is just a game. Right?
La Tierra se ve amenazada por una raza extraterrestre, los Insectores, que se comunican telepáticamente y consideran no tener nada en común con los humanos, a quienes pretenden destruir. Para vencerlos es necesario una nueva clase de genio militar, y por ello se ha permitido el nacimiento de Ender, lo que constituye, en cierta forma, una anomalía, pues es el tercer hijo de una pareja en un mundo que ha limitado estrictamente a dos el número de descendientes. El niño Ender deberá aprender todo lo relativo a la guerra en los videojuegos y en los peligrosos ensayos de batallas espaciales que realiza con sus compañeros. A la habilidad en el tratamiento de las emociones, ya característica de Orson Scott Card, se une en este libro el interés por el empleo de las simulaciones por ordenador y los juegos de fantasía en la formación militar, estratégica y psicológica del protagonista.
