"Card has done strong work before, but this could be the book to break him out of the pack."--New York Newsday

"Ender's Game is an affecting novel."--New York Times Book Review

"Card's latest novel is both a gripping tale of adventure in space and a
scathing indictment of the militaristic mind." --Library Journal

"A prize-winning novella has been transformed into an even more powerful book about war, that ranges in topic from reflex-training video games to combat between our inner- and other-directed selves....This book provides a harrowing look at the price we pay for trying to mold our posterity in our own aggresive image of what we believe is right." --The Christian Science Monitor

"Ender's Game is a fast-paced action/adventure but it is also a book with deep and complex moral sensibilities. Card constructed the book so that layers fold with immaculate timing, transforming an almost juvenile adventure into a tragic tale of the destruction of the only other sentient species man had discovered in the universe." -- Houston Post
