Bean, a three-year-old orphan living on the violent streets of Rotterdam, finds his life turned upside down when he is sent to Battle School, a space station designed to train gifted children to fight an approaching alien invasion. Orson Scott Card challenges us to reevaluate the way we perceive warfare as the constructs of what is "right" and "wrong" blur under difficult circumstances. Are the aliens really the enemies or are we the ones destined to destroy ourselves?
