The earth is going to be attacked for the third time by aliens called Formics. And the survival of the human race depends on the military's ability to fight them off. In order to win, the military develops a program to raise a military genius capable of leading an attack against the aliens in the Formic homeland. A group of chosen children are taken away and trained in a Battle School. Ender Wiggins looks like the genius they have been hoping for. Brilliant and cunning, he is better at the training games than any of the other genius children. But Ender faces loneliness, and fears that he is becoming like the his sadistic older brother. The adults running the school could care less: They want one end result, and Ender is just a tool to accomplish that end.
