  • Ender's Game Took the Sf World by Storm, Sweeping the Awards
    Ender’s Game Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer simulated war games; he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. The result of genetic experimentation, Ender may be the military genius Earth desperately needs in a war against an alien enemy seeking to destroy all human life. The only way to find out is to throw Ender into ever harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six years old when it begins. He will grow up fast. But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway almost as long. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. While Peter was too uncontrollably violent, Valentine very nearly lacks the capability for violence altogether. Neither was found suitable for the military's purpose. But they are driven by their jealousy of Ender, and by their inbred drive for power. Peter seeks to control the political process, to become a ruler. Valentine's abilities turn more toward the subtle control of the beliefs of commoner and elite alike, through powerfully convincing essays. Hiding their youth and identities behind the anonymity of the computer networks, these two begin working together to shape the destiny of Earth-an Earth that has no future at all if their brother Ender fails. Newsday said of this novel "Card has done strong work before, but this could be the book to break him out of the pack." It was.

  • ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

Perhaps using space travel as a way to delay the effects of their disease. She spent the last two books being wise and compassionate and singlehandedly liberating India. The FPE's victories, and especially their militarily brilliant commanders, bolster support for the FPE, and nations begin to freely vote on whether to join it. After months of searching, Bean and Petra found eight of their children, with the ninth implanted in a woman who believed Achilles to be a great man and thought that her child was his, Randi Firth. It felt like he was policing himself and not letting his full potential come out. In publication order. It is also great to read about Peter's work trying to unite the world. Aug 10, Eric Herboso rated it it was amazing Shelves: soft-science-fiction. They've got motivation and they are smarter than Valescu. This wiki. He doesn't do that with the male characters. The focus here is more on overall objectives and less on individual battles. However, I will avoid spoilers for this book and will try and be as general as possible in the synopsis. I know, that sounds so boring--but the great thing is that it's not! This is purely an artifact of the religious beliefs of the author, and I suppose I can understand why he would like to believe that a super-intelligent person would end up clearly admitting belief in some sort of God.

  • Shadows in Flight Free Download
    SHADOWS IN FLIGHT FREE DOWNLOAD Orson Scott Card | 304 pages | 15 Feb 2013 | Tor Books | 9780765368669 | English | United States The Last Shadow The 'crisis' of the novel comes too early. I hadn't expected Bean to be so big and trapped in the cargo hold to stay alive. Ultimate collection I was looking foward to this book tying Shadows in Flight the two series, but it didn't really do that. Frequent mentions. In time, they are forgotten--a fading ansible signal speaking of events lost to Earth's history. And the Shadows in Flight we get to know Agnes, Daisy, and Aunt Lydia, the less convincing they become. Fate of Worlds Fleet of Worlds Series 5. Card failed at that, too. See all 11 reviews. I found the first 3rd of the book very hard to get through as it focuses on the children who are whiny geniuses. Most helpful positive review. Card makes the important point that there's always more than one side to every issue. It centers around Bean and his three children, all of whom share the same genetic defect that he has, an inability to stop growing in size, thus rendering the body too large for the organs to support and thus dooming them to early deaths. Refresh and try again. The children, though Shadows in Flight, don't understand parenting and why Bean raises them the way he does. Ender's Shadow: Battle School But the Delphikis are about to make a discovery that will let them save themselves, and perhaps all of humanity in days to come.

  • SPEAKER for the DEAD by Orson Scott Card
    SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD by Orson Scott Card Prologue In the year 1830, after the formation of Starways Congress, a robot scout ship sent a report by ansible: The planet it was investigating was well within the parameters for human life. The nearest planet with any kind of population pressure was Ba¡a; Starways Congress granted them the exploration license. So it was that the first humans to see the new world were Portuguese by language, Brazilian by culture, and Catholic by creed. In the year 1886 they disembarked from their shuttle, crossed themselves, and named the planet Lusitania-- the ancient name of Portugal. They set about cataloguing the flora and fauna. Five days later they realized that the little forest-dwelling animals that they had called porquinhos-- piggies-- were not animals at all. For the first time since the Xenocide of the Buggers by the Monstrous Ender, humans had found intelligent alien life. The piggies were technologically primitive, but they used tools and built houses and spoke a language. "It is another chance God has given us," declared Archcardinal Pio of Ba¡a. "We can be redeemed for the destruction of the buggers." The members of Starways Congress worshipped many gods, or none, but they agreed with the Archcardinal. Lusitania would be settled from Ba¡a, and therefore under Catholic License, as tradition demanded. But the colony could never spread beyond a limited area or exceed a limited population. And it was bound, above all, by one law: the piggies were not to be disturbed. Chapter 1 -- Pipo Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next village are as human as ourselves, it is presumptuous in the extreme to suppose we could ever look at sociable, tool-making creatures who arose from other evolutionary paths and see not beasts but brothers, not rivals but fellow pilgrims journeying to the shrine of intelligence.
