Enders game by Orson Scott Card
July 11, 2006
Ender’s Game is a great science fiction novel. Ender Wiggin is recruited by the world government for “training” to fight the alien “buggers”. This first novel in a long running series follows Ender as he engages in training simulations and interacts with the other recruits. A very good read.
The rest of the series following Ender’s Game:
- Speaker for the dead
- Xenocide
- Children of the mind
The Shadow books are a related series that involve Ender’s family, who has been left behind when he is taken to battleschool. This series order is:
- Ender’s Shadow
- Shadow of the Hegemon
- Shadow Puppets
- Shadow of the Giant
I found that the series as a whole was fast paced and exciting. I usually don’t like to read series books because I can’t stand the suspense of waiting in between book releases, but this series I had to swallow up as fast as I could. Highly recommended for science fiction fans.
NEW! Just released and in at the library is the new Ender’s novel “A War of Gifts.” Come in and place a hold on it today!
