Limited to 65 games, easily the fewest of his career, because of two separate injuriesFirst, missed over two months with a lumbar strain, 5/15-7/18, and then suffered a right hamstring strain in a game on 8. His late father, Astolfo, was an Atlanta Braves fan and encouraged Ender to play and pursue a career in baseball. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut-young Ender is drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.Ender Inciarte.
Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. 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. 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. 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.
In response and to defend himself, Ender beat up the ringleader, Stilson, in a brutal assault, to end not just that fight, but all future fights with the bully and his gang. At the end of the first school day after the removal of his monitor, the bullies of the school began teasing and mildly attacking him for it. He has been closely watched for years by leaders of the International Fleet. Ender was a brilliant six-year-old boy, born as a third child in the United States that only permitted families of two children each, thus his very existence required permission from the government. If the world survives, that is.The story began with Ender Wiggin having his monitor removed.
However, Ender was quickly transferred into Salamander Army, whose commander was Bonzo Madrid. After some initial difficulties with his launch group created by Colonel Hyrum Graff, Ender became friends with Alai. Both Peter and Valentine were geniuses as well, but while Valentine loved Ender, Peter enjoyed abusing and almost torturing him.Ender was put on a shuttle to go to Battle School , which was actually a space station orbiting Earth.
Every bit as intelligent as their brother, but of differing temperaments, they began to integrate themselves into the political discussions on The Nets. Meanwhile, Ender's psychological development was monitored by the Mind Game, a complex computer game embedded in the school's computer system.Meanwhile, his two siblings Valentine and Peter continued their own unique lives. The older student Dink began to look after Ender. Upon his arrival, Ender was placed in Dink Meeker's toon. Bonzo's refusal to allow Ender to participate and Ender's own actions caused him to become the highest ranked soldier in Battle School which helped Bonzo transfer Ender to Rat Army, commanded by Rose The Nose.
Ender organized his army strangely, having five toons of eight rather than four toons of ten, and having each toon split into two sub toons. He did not personally know any of his soldiers, and they were all launchies (new students) or soldiers that other commanders were trying to trade away. Both personas began to gain international status.Ender went through his classes quickly and was soon given his own army, Dragon Army, which was supposedly taboo or cursed. Eventually, they adopted the personas Locke and Demosthenes, Peter writing Locke, the peaceful compromise-oriented writer, and Valentine being forced to write Demosthenes, a rabble-rouser.
After this "cheat" of a win, the Battle School teachers changed the rules to make sure such a thing never happens again.Ender returned to his room, and decided to go to the showers. Ender realized that he didn't necessarily need to freeze the opposing armies' soldiers like usual he allowed his army to be slaughtered in order to sneak 5 soldiers into the enemy's gate, thus winning the battle. The next day, Ender and his Dragon Army faced two armies at once, Griffin and Tiger. After Dragon Army defeated Salamander easily, Bonzo's rage became uncontrollable. Eventually he was forced to face Salamander Army, still commanded by Bonzo Madrid, who had been silently hating Ender for years.
The International Fleet, worried that he will not cooperate with them due to his lack of interest, sent Graff to meet with Valentine after school. He built a raft and spent his time alone in contemplation and self-resentment. He returned to Earth on leave with Colonel Graff.Not wanting to see his family, he was kept isolated from everyone at a small lake in the woods. Ender, horrified at what he had done, refused to participate any longer in Battle School.
Rackham and Graff told Ender that he had not been playing a game, and had never played against Rackham, but instead had been commanding real ships across interstellar distances the task made possible via the ansible, a form of instantaneous communication making use of Philotic energy. He duplicated his final battle at Battle School and used the Molecular Disruption Device to destroy the planet around which the Formic fleet is orbiting (taking the surrounding fleet with it), demonstrating that he was far too ruthless to be trusted with command of an actual battle fleet.However, when the simulation ended, Ender discovered that the "audience" watching his "final exam" was now in jubilation and delight. Ender, by then, had had enough of being manipulated by the adults, and decided to flunk out of Command School—a true victory for him. Fatigued in mind and body, his team slowly succumbing to exhaustion, Ender started to lose hope.In Ender's final exam before graduating from Command School, he and his team found themselves in possession of a small fleet, approaching a planet literally swarming with Formic ships, outnumbering his own force a thousand to one. Ender began to be plagued by mysterious nightmares which interrupted his sleep.
The battle lasted all of five days, but the impact was clear: Ender cannot return to Earth because he would simply be used as a tool of the dominant government on Earth. Immediately after the end of the Formic War, the Hegemony fell apart and war broke out on Earth in a dispute about who was to gain control of Ender. Feeling the full weight of the deaths he had caused, made heavier by his apparent love and respect of the Formics, developed over his interaction with them, he refused to respond to anyone for a time. He had just commanded the fleet attacking the Formic Homeworld, and destroyed their entire species once and for all.When Ender learned that he had been playing a game with real people's lives, he lapsed into four days of exhausted depression, completely void of reality, drifting in and out of sleep.
