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

Later, though, he would remember that it was even before he left Earth that he first thought of it as a planet, like any other, not particularly his own.
日后，他回忆起此时，才意识到，他在离开地球前就已经将地球看做一个行星，就像任何其他行星一样，而不是他自己的行星。 (查看原文)

买不起中文正版书，网上的译本又不咋地，就用kindle整了本原版来看看～绝对的简单易懂，生词量很少（全书共透析出300词左右），句式不复杂，篇幅适中，乃入门级透析小说～主角光环太迷人，怎么能有Ender这么伟大与温情并存的人呢……有说该书是三体三部曲的镜面对照，相当有道理～

The details of this "game" lack intelligence and imagination that it was almost childish, naturally... Maybe I was expecting too much.
