One of my favorite sci-fi books is "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card.
That does ring a bell but I can't remember why. What's it about?
It is about a war between humans and an alien species. Ender is a child who is being trained to lead the human military forces.
Wow, that sounds very interesting! I love sci-fi entertainment! What other books has Orson Scott written?
He wrote "Speaker for the Dead" in 1986. Both novels won Hugo and Nebula Awards.
Have there been any movie adaptations of any of his books?
"Ender's Game" was first a short story in the "Analog Science Fiction and Fact" magazine. It did receive a movie adaptation in 2013.
I might have to check it out! I'll read the book first then watch the movie. What are your favorites from this author?
