暢銷書作家奧森·斯科特·卡德的經典科幻小說《安德的遊戲》——由阿沙·巴特菲爾德和哈里森·福特主演的電影版——榮獲雨果獎和星雲獎，講述了一個男孩被徵召入伍，捲入星際戰爭的故事。
為了抵禦敵對外星種族的下一次攻擊，政府機構培育天才兒童，並將他們訓練成士兵。安德魯「安德」維金是個才華洋溢的男孩，他與善良卻疏遠的父母、虐待狂哥哥彼得以及他最愛的妹妹瓦倫丁一起生活。彼得和瓦倫丁原本是士兵訓練計畫的候選人，但未能入選——年輕的安德被選中前往軌道上的戰鬥學校接受嚴格的軍事訓練。
安德的才能使他成為學校裡的領導者，並在戰鬥室裡備受尊敬。在戰鬥室裡，孩子們在零重力環境下進行模擬戰鬥。然而，在由年輕士兵組成的人造社區中長大的安德，飽受孤獨、同齡人的競爭、成年教師的壓力以及對異星入侵者揮之不去的恐懼折磨。他內心的掙扎包括孤獨、害怕自己會變成記憶中殘忍的哥哥，以及對摯愛妹妹的深切思念。
安德是地球需要的將軍嗎？但安德並非基因實驗的唯一產物。與蟲族的戰爭已經持續了百年，尋找完美將軍的旅程也幾乎同樣漫長。安德的兩個哥哥姐姐和他一樣與眾不同，只是他們與眾不同的方式截然不同。他們三人擁有重塑世界的能力。前提是，這個世界能夠存活下來。
From New York Times bestselling author Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game―adapted to film starring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford―is the classic Hugo and Nebula award-winning science fiction novel of a young boy's recruitment into the midst of an interstellar war.
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.
