About this listen

 Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer-simulated war games at the Battle School; he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. Ender is the result of decades of genetic experimentation, Earth's attempt to make the military genius that the planet needs in its all-out war with an alien enemy.

Is Ender the general Earth needs? The only way to find out is to throw the child into ever-harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six-years-old when his training begins. He will grow up fast.

But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. 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, Peter and Valentine, 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.

This Special 20th Anniversary Edition of the science fiction classic is now digitally remastered with a full cast production. It also contains an exclusive bonus original postscript written and recorded by the author himself, Orson Scott Card!

Critic reviews

"'Intense' is the word for Ender's Game." ( The New York Times)
"If you have not yet read Ender's Game you most definitely should: it is believed by some to be the best science fiction book ever written, and a strong contender for 'Great Book' status." ( Amazon.com)

I was recommended by a friend but was sceptical after the movie. Can't believe how much better it is in audio book format. So well read as well.

Amazing book

I'm not a huge SF fan, but certain books capture my imagination, and this is one of them. The story of a young boy, who goes through complex training, whilst also growing up, going on to lead an army against a threat to our world.

I loved the writing in this one, again it's a story well told, and I will most probably listen again.

SF Classic
