Synopsis
In a future where Earth has barely survived two invasions by an insectoid alien species, gifted children are recruited to an orbital Battle School to train for the next war. Young Andrew "Ender" Wiggin proves to be a tactical genius, but the isolation and psychological manipulation imposed by his commanders exact a devastating personal toll.
