Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

This book won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and has been a big influence on many other writers and people. Please don't be tempted to wikipedia it or otherwise ruin the story for yourselves. Enjoy :)


I was going to recommend The Gunslinger, but it can be a little dry, plus you'd have to read the 6 novels that followed on from it (maybe next time :)
