Enders game 11

Pg 290-317
I’m almost done with the book! The games Ender plays in the college turn out not to be simulators. In fact, he was piloting actual ships in battle! He also destroyed the bugger’s home planet. He was furious when they told him he killed millions of aliens who probably weren’t even planning a third attack. He never wanted to be a killer like his older brother, Peter. Commander Graff said that since Ender grew to understand the buggers, he was able to defeat them. Graff said deception was the only way they could make him the fighter they wanted. However, after the day long celebration, the world leaders break down on their peace treaty and fight each other for Ender. Thankfully, Peter’s alter ego, Locke, was able to make a pact that settled the matter. Even so, Valentine and Ender took off in a colonization ships towards new planets and Ender became governor of the colony. I only have a few pages left, I will definitely read the sequels!
