"
""Intelligent and perceptive . . . Card's many fans will find much
to enjoy here.""
—Publishers Weekly
""A chorus of writers and military experts weigh in on why Ender's
Game is a work of genius . . . Strategist John F. Schmitt provides
an account of the novel's significant role as a model for the
Marine Corps' 'Maneuver Warfare' battle approach, and there's a
perceptive discussion between writer David Lubar and his daughter,
a high school teacher, about how Ender's situation and responses
speak to teens . . . Other contributors recall with awe their first
encounters with the story, offer detailed analyses of Ender's
psyche and Card's writerly technical chops, demonstrate that Ender
is a classic mythic hero, or mull over the nature and costs of
victory . . . This tribute may have some appeal to readers with an
analytical bent.""
—Kirkus Reviews
Ender's World is a fun and thought-provocative read, evaluating not
just the novel Ender's Game, but also its lasting effect on the
science fiction genre. It provides a wide range of viewpoints and
the contributors were well-selected, providing something,
essentially, for everyone. If you're interested in brushing up on
the story again before the movie releases later this fall, check
out Ender's World for some new perspectives on this science fiction
classic.
