Thanks to all who recommended the novel "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card.
I never would have picked up this book on my own... I'm not into reading how
little children are trained to become killer space commanders, blah blah.
But this book grabbed me with an industrial-sized hook and I devoured it.
Outstanding story, and it well-deserved all the awards it won.
I had to go with a major suspension of disbelief on the frightening
precocity and intelligence of Ender and his siblings, but I cheerfully
suspended and was rewarded, LOL! And being in Ender's head reminded me a
lot of being in Harry's head at the end of Goblet of Fire -- the little kid
that the world is depending upon to be a savior, and the terrible price he
pays.
