    An airliner’s controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction. At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events.

    Brian says: "Techno-thriller that gets the tech right"
    "Fun & learn a little about computer security"

    Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... 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. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

    The journey Ender takes through the book.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The battles that Ender fights in the battle room and how he masters the skills he needs to run his own army.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Could not wait to get to the next part of the book to see what was going to happen.

    Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

    What did you like best about this story?

    The Star Trek parity was perfect and knowing what the red shirts were thinking before death was priceless.


    Which character – as performed by Wil Wheaton – was your favorite?

    Wil Wheaton is a masterful narrator and I would listen to any book he read. He brought the crew member characters to life.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Space where no one will hear you scream...even if your a redshirt.
