Ender's Game

Special 20th Anniversary Edition

De: Orson Scott Card

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki, Harlan Ellison, Gabrielle de Cuir

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.

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

"'Intense' is the word for Ender's Game." (The New York Times)

Absolutely love the book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely and actually I bought a paper version for my husband.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ender's Game?

The conclusion of the story.

Satisfying

The narrator is very good. There is a bit of weird music at the beginning of chapters, but it is not distracting. There is also an afterword by Orson Scott Card at the end.

Great First Experience with Audible

This is the first time I listened to an audio book. I was expecting a boring read but was delited when I discovered multiple voices to represent the characters. I would have like a few low key sound effects though just to spice it up a little more. All in all I thought it was great.

A great listen

I read this book several years ago. It initiated so much discussion then that I was hooked when I saw it in audio. The audio was even more enjoyable than the book. Sometimes hearing a story can give an entirely different slant and explanation of a book. This one initated more discussion (my definition of a great book) and elicited many opinions! The interview with the author is fascinating and informative!

Classic Book

A friend of mine suggested this book. I was skeptical but it is very good. You will enjoy it.
