Card “exploded onto the science fiction scene with his first published story, ‘Ender’s Game’ for Analog in 1977; it was nominated for a Hugo and served as the germ for the Ender series, the first two volumes of which, published 1985 and 1986? [by which time Card] had clearly established himself as one of the two or three dominant figures of recent science fiction? The Ender saga stands as one of the very few serious moral tales set among the stars” (Clute & Nicholls, 194-95). “A sophisticated power fantasy. Grimly fascinating” (Anatomy of Wonder II-217).
