The children at Battle School come from many nations and many religions; and while they are being trained for war, religious conflict between them is not on the curriculum. But Dink Meeker, one of the older students, thinks that giving gifts isn't exactly a religious observation, and on Sinterklaaus Day he tucks a present into another student's shoe. This small act of rebellion sets off a battle royal between the students and the staff, but some surprising alliances form when Ender comes up against a new student, Zeck Morgan. The War over Santa Claus will force everyone to make a choice. This audiobook is a must-give stocking stuffer for every Ender fan on your Christmas list.
For years science fiction lovers have enjoyed Orson Scott Card's stories spinning out of his ENDER'S GAME novels. In these books the human race is fighting for survival against an interstellar insect race and then fighting against itself. With able help from narrators Scott Brick and Stefan Rudnicki, Card continues to dip into the mythos with a glimpse into the lives of some of the Earth's generals in their youth. The stalwart Brick is known for delivering credible performances regardless of genre. He excels in this brief story about hyper-intelligent children placed in a rigorous "battle school" for training to become the Earth's generals and leaders. But the teachers go too far when they ban religion, planting the seeds for future problems. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
