In the near future, a hostile alien race has attacked Earth. If not for the renown heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham, all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff  and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin, a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.

Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Once there, Mazer Rackham trains him, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the fate of humanity. Based on the beloved book by Orson Scott Card.
