Wolfgang Peterson Off "Ender's Game" Adaptation
Anyone who’s delved much at all into science fiction books will have already heard of Orson Scott Card and his magnificent book, Ender’s Game. It was one of my early favorites.

Have I ever steered you wrong? I know many of you have taken up shows that my wife and I have recommended and ended up loving them.
