Has anyone here read the Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow series by Orson Scott Card? They are really good books. They're my favorite books ever written. Here's a list of books in those series and the order they are set in.
Ender's Game Series:
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Ender's Shadow Series:
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
The Ender's Game series is based on the war against the Formic aliens and Ender, a small boy, has to lead the army. Trust me, it may sound lame but it's awsome. He goes through battle school and, well, kills the aliens.
The Ender's Shadow series is about the war on Earth that happens afterwords and is told from the point of view of Bean, Ender's backup.
These books are excellent and I would recamend them to anyone 13 or older. The only reason I say that is because there's some swearing and stuff.
And remember, The Enemy's Gate is Down.
