Trois mille ans se sont écoulés depuis l'extermination des Doryphores, et les hommes se croient désormais seuls dans l'univers. Or, on découvre sur la planète Lusitania l'existence des Piggies, bipèdes mi-hommes, mi-cochons doués d'intelligence. Des scientifiques sont détachés pour les étudier mais, sans mobile apparent, ils sont assassinés.

Andrew Wiggin, dit Ender, n'est pas un garçon comme les autres. Depuis sa naissance, ses faits et gestes sont observés par l'intermédiaire d'un moniteur greffé dans son cerveau. Car ceux qui l'ont conçu ont pour ambition de faire de lui le plus grand général de tous les temps, le seul capable de sauver ses semblables de l'invasion des doryphores.

À douze ans, Ender Wiggin a sauvé l'humanité de la menace des "doryphores", mais le retour au foyer lui est interdit : les rivalités nationales ont repris et les jeunes prodiges de l'École de guerre suscitent convoitises et craintes. On lui propose alors l'exil vers la première colonie humaine sur une planète prise à l'ennemi, dont il deviendra le gouverneur.

Grâce à Ender, le Porte-Parole des Morts, Lusitania est devenue une planète indépendante où Piggies et humains cohabitent tant bien que mal. Les Doryphores, eux, ont décidé de migrer... et risquent de propager sur d'autres mondes le virus de la Descolada, indispensable à la survie des Piggies mais mortel pour l'humanité.

One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston is the story of the First Formic War. Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn’t believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame. And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.

Les Pequeninos, la reine et les humains de Lusitania sont menacés par l'arrivée de la flotte stellaire qui compte utiliser le "Petit Docteur", un désintégrateur moléculaire, pour préserver la race humaine du terrible virus de la descolada. Seule Jane, l'intelligence artificielle alliée d'Ender, est capable de les sauver, mais son action est menacée par le Congrès stellaire.

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer-simulated war games at the Battle School; he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. Ender is the result of decades of genetic experimentation, Earth's attempt to make the military genius that the planet needs in its all-out war with an alien enemy. Ender Wiggin is six-years-old when it begins. He will grow up fast. This, the special 20th Anniversary Edition, includes an original postscript written and recorded by Orson Scott Card himself.
