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
我也喜欢刘慈欣的小说,尤其是《球状闪电》,因为两者都有政治特色。因为是美国作家,他会有冷战思维,而且美国人参政意识很强,所以洛克可以协同她的妹妹在这件事上大做文章,其实这也是科幻的一部分,过程很有创意。还有在训练营里那个要荣誉到极端暴力的西班牙人,被讽刺...
評分 評分一般来说,由于其独特的故事背景和写作上的诉求,奇幻文学是属于特定年龄层面人群的读物。比起庞大的奇幻文学全体,适合大多数人来读的此类只占有一小部分。他们也大多被奉为经典,比如《哈利波特》等。《安德的游戏》像极了罗琳女士的作品,他们都是关于一个男孩如何成为一个...
評分自从亚当夏娃因为毒蛇的谎言而偷吃了智慧果之后,人类很快就学会了撒谎,并且将谎言活学活用,开启了滔滔不绝的说谎历程。谎言几乎就是人类文明的一部分,甚至有时候它本身就是文明的象征:历史上,大部分的统治都是建立在一个弥天大谎的基础之上。 《安德的游戏》,也是...
評分蕴含了巨大的处世和自省自勉的能量,抱着书躺在床上废寝忘食了几天--我看书慢,看好书更慢,总有太多让我折过来回味的地方~细节也很丰富,主人公的心理描写也相当成功,最关键的还是节奏一流啊!所以常常被我用来送给好友,买了好几本,还是觉得不够...
