If you think about it, situations very similar to those in Ender's Game are happening at the present. With all those video games featuring killing and other considered objectionable objectives, one might start to question the effect of such games on the psychology of people, specifically in child st...

It usually seems as if sometimes science and other logical explanations for stuff is sacrificed for what the author believes to be an interesting plot twist. The Ender series is no exception. Since we don't exactly know the exact nature of Bean's illness (that is no one's written hundreds of pages o...

The Polemarch and Hegemon have not always been of the nationalities they were during the Second Invasion, but it is said that the Strategos had always been a Jew, but it didn't specify if they were Israeli. Spoiler Select to View ( that is until Bean as appointed ). About the Polemarch, I don't thin...

You guys keep talking about amputations and possibly keeping Bean alive long enough for him to come into play in Shadows of Flight. But OSC wont enter him into the book as an amputated vegetable who cant move and is too big to fit into a spaceship. What use is there to that other than excite fans w...

There have been many instances where I have had a book sit around before I read it and it turned out to be good. Unfortunately if I read a book and wasn't immediately hooked, I tend to put it aside, and sometimes not pick it up again. I probably missed many a good book this way. Last year, I had to ...

If you read the afterword, Card explains that initially the conflict on Ganges was going to be the central story of the book, but somewhere along the way he decided to focus on Shakespeare colony instead. I've read the afterword twice but I don't remember anything like that. Guess I'll just have to...

Ender's Squadron Leaders
While researching for Orson Scott Card wiki, I stumbled upon this paragraph in Ender's Game: Mazer explained. He wasn't going to control ships anymore. "You've reached the next phase of your training. You have experience in every level of strategy, but now it's time for you to concentrate on co...

There were only twenty starships in the human fleet, each with four fighters. And they were the oldest design, sluggish compared to some of the fighters they'd had in earlier battles. It made sense—the Bugger home world was probably the farthest away, so the fleet that got there now had left befo...

I'm pretty sure that the Bugger's were the ones who made the first strike. In fact, the humans didn't even know about their existence until they attacked. Also, I don't think that even if the humans knew about the Buggers and the Buggers hadn't attacked, they probably wouldn't attack the Buggers unl...

(Note that this is a combination of one of my previous post and a new post) Right now, I'm at about chapter 20 or so (I don't really want to bother to check) (I'm at the part where Val and Ender get to Ganges) and although I haven't finished it 100%, there are a few thing I'd like to say. First off,...

I personally would say Bean was better, though there was one trait that Bean was missing, and that was leadership, the ability to know your soldiers and subordinates. Bean was shown in Ender's Shadow to be a bit Naïve and looking into his own stuff rather than trying to befriend his launch group. I...
