During his first year at the Battle School--where it is against the rules to celebrate religious holidays--Ender decides to give one of his classmates a holiday gift, and starts a fight between the students.
Young Ender Wiggin may prove to be the military genius Earth needs to fight a desperate battle against a deadly alien race that will determine the future of the human race.
Ender Wiggin has an opportunity to atone for his earlier failures through a second alien race discovered by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania.
