'''''Ender's Game''''' (1985) is one of the most famous books written by [[Orson Scott Card]].<ref name="fresco book">{{cite web |url=http://www.frescopictures.com/movies/ender/enderbook.html |title=Ender's Game The Book |publisher=Fresco Pictures |accessdate=2008-01-17 |archive-date=2007-12-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071230222946/http://www.frescopictures.com/movies/ender/enderbook.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> It takes place in Earth's future where mankind has barely survived two attacks by the "buggers", a species of alien, and the International Fleet is getting ready for war. In order to find and train a leader for the next invasion, the world's smartest children, including Ender Wiggin, are taken into a place called Battle School at a very young age. The book takes place around the year 2135, and its sequels ''[[Speaker for the Dead]]'', ''[[Xenocide]]'', ''[[Children of the Mind]]'', ''[[A War of Gifts: An Ender Story|A War of Gifts]]'', and ''[[Ender in Exile: Ganges]]'' follow Ender to different planets as he travels far into the future.

The book was first a novelette that came out in the August 1977 issue of ''[[Analog Science Fiction and Fact]]''.<ref>[http://www.hatrack.com/osc/stories/enders-game.shtml Short Stories by Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game]. ''Hatrack.com.''</ref> Card later made the novel longer and wrote sequels to create the [[Ender's Game series|''Ender's Game'' series]].

A new version was released in 1991 to keep facts accurate (such as the end of the [[Soviet Union]]).
