**There are probably more to this series, and the order is up for debate as the order is different depending on which book you look at

This series is deffinately SCIFI starting with a boy at the age of 6 who goes away to outer space to train to fight an alien race. As it continues, the series spans thousands of years with the same main character, Andrew (Ender) Wiggin. Near light speed space travel saves Ender from aging and lets the series continue with him as the main character. This series brings up alot of phillosophy, interesting science, and many interesting things to think about.

I would reccomend this book to any lover of science, scifi, or phillosiphy.

`I second this recommendation. Definitely one of the highest ranking series' I've ever read(and I've read thousands of books).

`I personally don't recommend it, at least not Ender's Game as a standalone (heard the series gets better, but I don't know). Ender Wiggins is one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen. the book does not really question anything he does, and what he does is most definitely morally questionable. It has quite a Neo-Nazi theme going for it; sympathy for the superman, sympathy for Ender, the most talented student.

Also, as a side note for those who don't know, Orson Scott Card is not a good person. 'Nuff said.
