My favorite of all time, the story of Ender Wiggin will appeal to all audiences young and old. Card's writing is masterful and easy to read.

A must read for anyone who enjoys science fiction of any kind.

This book is well worth the Hugo and Nebula Awards it received. Once again Mr. Clarke brings intrigue and new ideas to the table as his characters attempt to pull off the greatest engineering project of all time: an elevator into space. The concepts inroduced in this book will excite engineers everywhere and inspire those with any mechanical interests. Another beautiful piece from Clarke.
