In a future where humanity is at war with an alien enemy determined to destroy life on Earth, Ender Wiggin is a third child in a family of extraordinarily gifted children. Sent off to battle school at only six years of age, Ender - with his perfect mix of compassion and ruthlessness - is forced to become the military genius humanity so desperately needs.

Ender's Game is probably the book I've reread more than any other. No matter how many times I read it, its fast-paced science fiction narrative hooks me every time. But it's the deeper themes that keep me coming back with thought-provoking messages on ethics, leadership, and compassion.
