Ender’s Game

“Ender’s Game” is the first part of a science fiction epic by Orson Scott Card and is one of the best novels I’ve ever read.

The story takes place in the distant future. It is about a young boy, Andrew Wiggin, called Ender, who is, due to his extraordinary intellect, recruited for a military training program to defend Earth against a threatening invasion by an alien species.

During his training, Ender embarks on a profound emotional journey, grappling with questions of morality, ethics, and psychological stress.

I don’t want to give away any more of the plot now.

Ender’s Game has won numerous prestigious awards and is a major work of science fiction literature. Its success has spawned several follow-up novels – the first four parts are conveniently available as a set: The Ender Quartet.

Suitable as an audiobook? Yes, including the sequels.
