Ender's Game is a 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind after two conflicts with the Formics, an insectoid alien species they dub the "buggers". In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, children, including the novel's protagonist, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, are trained from a very young age by putting them through increasingly difficult games, including some in zero gravity, where Ender's tactical genius is revealed.

The book originated as a short story of the same name, published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact. The novel was published on January 15, 1985. Later, by elaborating on characters and plotlines depicted in the novel, Card was able to write additional books in the Ender's Game series. Card also released an updated version of Ender's Game in 1991, changing some political facts to reflect the times more accurately (e.g., to include the recent collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War). The novel has been translated into 34 languages.

Reception of the book has been mostly positive. It has become suggested reading for many military organizations, including the United States Marine Corps. Ender's Game was recognized as "best novel" by the 1985 Nebula Award[3] and the 1986 Hugo Award[4] in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Its four sequels—Speaker for the Dead (1986), Xenocide (1991), Children of the Mind (1996), and Ender in Exile (2008)—follow Ender's subsequent travels to many different worlds in the galaxy. In addition, the later novella A War of Gifts (2007) and novel Ender's Shadow (1999), plus other novels in the Shadow saga, take place during the same time period as the original.

Edition Notes

Andrew Wiggin est un Troisième. Et haï pour cette raison... entres autres. Sur la Terre surpeuplée, la Loi interdit d'avoir plus de deux enfants. Mais la famille Wiggin n'est pas comme les autres : leurs enfants sont... spéciaux. Intelligents. Extrêmement intelligents. Peter, l'aîné, est malheureusement cruel et se sert le plus souvent de son intelligence pour faire le mal. Valentine, sa jeune sœur, est trop sensible. Alors l'Armée a autorisé la conception d'un Troisième : Andrew, ou, comme il aime à se surnommer, Ender.
Et Ender semble à la fois réunir toutes les aptitudes pour lesquelles il a été autorisé à naître : devenir le plus grand stratège de l'histoire.
Pourquoi ?
Ce qui fait la force du roman d'Orson Scott Card réside dans cette simple question : pourquoi ? Pour quelle raison ? Dans quelle guerre fantastique Ender devra-t-il mener ses soldats ? La réponse ne sera pleinement révélée que dans les cent dernières pages, et pas avant. D'abord, il faut rentrer dans la peau de ce personnage hors du commun qu'est Ender. Et étonnamment, cette identification est incroyablement aisée, tant les émotions, la sensibilité, la psychologie même du personnage d'Ender sont à fleur de peau.
Ender est encore un enfant - il n'a que 6 ans lorsqu'il rentre à l'Ecole de Guerre - mais très vite sa force de caractère et ses aptitudes forcent le respect. Pourtant, ce n'est pas chose facile : Ender, qui veut avant tout être « comme les autres enfants », avoir des amis et être aimé, sera dès le premier jour confronté aux manipulations de ses supérieurs. Car pour eux, Ender n'est pas et ne doit surtout pas être « comme les autres enfants » : la défaite, l'amour, l'amitié, sont prohibées ; en revanche, Ender devra être implacable, cruel parfois et en même temps sensible ; il devra être respecté, non pour ce qu'il est, mais pour ce qu'il fera.
Chef d'œuvre incontesté, la stratégie Ender marque le début d'un destin fabuleux et terrible, celui d'Ender, l'enfant-prodige.
