In a dystopian future, the world faces alien invasions and turns to engineered children for its redemption. Ender is one such child, but his nature has primed him for the seat of the general of all mankind, a responsibility he will have to face or watch the world burn. The Ender Quartet is one of the most famous science fiction series. Summary of the Series Desperate to turn the tables on its alien invaders, government agencies protecting the planet Earth turn to its children, breeding child geniuses to survive in a Spartan environment. The environment and their genetic make up will build them, it hopes, into generals and leaders capable of taking on the aliens. Andrew "Ender" Wiggins is one such child, taken into the program once his brother and sister are deemed ineffective. Ender's skills quickly shoot him to leadership, setting him up as the general in whose hands Earth's redemption lies. Ender begins to feel the weight of the Battle School on his shoulders and slowly fears that he is turning into a tyrant, cruel and dark. However, Ender and his siblings aren't merely the offspring of bioengineering. And in their hands lies the future of the Earth.
