This is not a Tolkien book, however since it is not indicated that the books discussed here are to be of the likes, I have taken the liberty to talk of a different book [besides, this forum really needs some progression].
//genre:sci-fi
//author: Orson Scott Card
//synopsis: Aliens [a.k.a. buggers] have invaded and attacked earth twice and nearly destroyed the human species. To make sure humans will win the next encounter, the International Fleet [I.F.] has taken to breeding new kinds of soldiers. Tough. Strategic. But most impotantly, children. They are the geniouses that will fight the war for the human race. The early training,not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'. Ender/Andrew Wiggin is the genious among geniouses. He wins ALL the games. Now the fate of humanity rests upon him.
//opinion: If you've read the book, you know this is intense. Although the prodigious minds of the children portrayed may not seem credible, it is utterly surprising how Card, the author, taking in account how young and old children can be [as he says in is dedication].
Just one question: Is it possible that Valentine [Ender's sister] and Peter [brother] are related and take effect on Ender's ingeniuty? All three children are prodigies -- but Ender was the only child to succeed in selection for Battle School. Peter is too tough. Valentine is too soft -- but both seem to share the same intellect [in their own ways]. Could it be that Ender's emotional behavior was reason for his selection?
If you've read the book, or reading it, I'd be delighted by your reply. As for the rest -- what do you think, even if the lack of information is at hand?
