Ender's Game

奥森・斯科特・卡德－－Orson Scott Card奥森・斯科特・卡德是当今美国科幻界最炙手可热的人物之一。在美国科幻史上，从来没有人在两年内连续两次将“雨果”和“星云”两大科幻奖尽收囊中，直到卡德横空出世。1986年，他的《安德的游戏》囊括雨果奖、星云奖，1987年，其续集《死者代言人》再次包揽了这两个世界科幻文学的最高奖项卡德生于华盛顿州里奇兰，在犹他州长大，分别在杨百翰大学和犹他大学取得学位，目前定居于北卡罗莱纳州。卡德坚信小说具有教化意义，应该向读者传递积极上进的信息。“安德”系列小说便充分反映出作者的这种观念。这个系列还包括《安德的影子》《霸主的影子》等

Winer 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.

读后感

这部书值得纪念的一点，与书本身无关：它是我第一部在ipad上读完的电子书。我预言，在不久的将来，实体书将越来越少，就像实体信一样。我要好好收藏现有的实体书，因为的确不打算买很多实体书了。 那两个星期，每天晚上抱着ipad，躲在床的一个角落，像得了强迫症似的一...  

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...

一部很精彩的小说，讲述了在人虫战争背景之下的几个少年天才的成长过程，其中以安德为小说的主人公，安德以他超乎完美的天才能力——我个人认为他已经差不多接近上帝了——克服了诸多几乎无法克服的困难，艰难之极，最终成长为一个天才的军事指挥官，指挥地球的舰队以弱胜强击...  

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...  

用户评价

一部讲策略的小说，讲险恶的环境下如何生存、取胜；充满机智的对话，以对话推动情节，通过对话展现心理活动，解释策略，制造和解决冲突。

“If you could make them feel as you can make me feel, then perhaps they could forgive you.”

最喜欢读的科幻小说之一，也是第一本完全读下来的英文原版小说

好看的一米那啥！
