Ender's Game
Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
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 Shadow
Orson Scott Card brings us back to the very beginning of his brilliant Ender Quartet, with a novel that allows us to reenter that world anew.
With all the power of his original creation, Card has created a parallel volume to Ender's Game, a book that expands and compliments the first, enhancing its power, illuminating its events and its powerful conclusion.
The human race is at War with the "Buggers", an insect-like alien race. The first battles went badly, and now as Earth prepares to defend itself against the imminent threat of total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable alien enemy, all focus is on the development and training of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win.
The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth--they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging then into an irresisible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School.
Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. In this new book, card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean--the one who became Ender's right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers.
Bean's past was a battle just to survive. He first appeared on the streets of Rotterdam, a tiny child with a mind leagues beyond anyone else's. He knew he could not survive through strength; he used his tactical genius to gain acceptance into a children's gang, and then to help make that gang a template for success for all the others. He civilized them, and lived to grow older.
Bean's desperate struggle to live, and his success, brought him to the attention of the Battle School's recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender....
Shadow of the Hegemon
The War is over, won by Ender Wiggin and his team of brilliant child-warriors. The enemy is destroyed, the human race is saved. Ender himself refuses to return to the planet, but his crew has gone home to their families, scattered across the globe. The battle school is no more.
But with the external threat gone, the Earth has become a battlefield once more. The children of the Battle School are more than heros; they are potential weapons that can bring power to the countries that control them. One by one, all of Ender's Dragon Army are kidnapped. Only Bean escapes; and he turns for help to Ender's brother Peter.
Peter Wiggin, Ender's older brother, has already been manipulating the politics of Earth from behind the scenes. With Bean's help, he will eventually rule the world.
奧森・斯科特・卡德--Orson Scott Card
奧森・斯科特・卡德是當今美國科幻界最炙手可熱的人物之一。在美國科幻史上,從來沒有人在兩年內連續兩次將“雨果”和“星雲”兩大科幻奬盡收囊中,直到卡德橫空齣世。1986年,他的《安德的遊戲》囊括雨果奬、星雲奬,1987年,其續集《死者代言人》再次包攬瞭這兩個世界科幻文學的最高奬項
卡德生於華盛頓州裏奇蘭,在猶他州長大,分彆在楊百翰大學和猶他大學取得學位,目前定居於北卡羅萊納州。卡德堅信小說具有教化意義,應該嚮讀者傳遞積極上進的信息。“安德”係列小說便充分反映齣作者的這種觀念。這個係列還包括《安德的影子》《霸主的影子》等
《安德的游戏》呼唤起一些理性的热情,那曾经是我们一直想要的自己么?——一个冷静面对所有挑战、按部就班、稳步上升、兵来将挡、将一步步胜利统统囊括于怀中的人类么? 以前认为要描写一个天才是很难很难的事。现在发觉完全不是这样可怕的。每个人都有成为天才的潜质,只要...
評分从科幻硬核、思想性、可读性等等诸多方面,安德系列都达到了一个前所未有的高度 非常精彩的(天才儿童的出现、游戏的结果和屠异的前提,霸主的重生),引发思考的(豆子的命运,安德的来历,安塞波的主人,猪族星球上的生态悖论和人类暴动的简单模型,虫族女王和树的意识交流...
評分《安德的游戏》看得让人心痛,不过是一个小孩,却被安排担负起所谓的人类兴亡使命,而事实上,那场战争,更多是出于假想。在结尾,安德在虫族星球上,与虫族女王的意识对话,让我想起了《三体》中的黑暗森林法则。文明之间,是对抗还是和谐共存?前者是现实,后者是理想。 ...
評分《 安德的游戏》这本书,在我第一眼看到封面的时候,我直觉是一本成人的专业书,而且是很不容易懂的那种。我对这种书一般是敬而远之的,因为自己水平有限,买了也看不懂,就不浪费作者的心血我的钱财了。后来,在豆瓣上看到书评,几乎可以用好评如潮来形容。从书评内容来看...
評分好像每个孩子儿时都有成为英雄啊救世主啊的梦想,我也不例外。这本小说恐怕就是最好的实现梦想的地方了。虽然情节是老套的人虫大战,但卡特把太空军事学院那段写的如此传神,不愧是星云奖作品。虽然卡特自己说想写的是《死者代言人》,但从后面来看,又出了《安德的影子》来说...
