I guess I have been out to lunch as I have never heard of this book, ever. To me though, the Dune series by Frank Herbert would be impossible to top. I've read the whole series. If any here has read both authors, how would you compare?

If any here has read both authors, how would you compare? I've read both recently. Dune is slightly more sophisticated, but they both have what I consider positive and conservative themes. Most people who like Dune will also like Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, although they are very different as Sci Fi. [Dune is better.]

I’ve read both authors. OSC is much easier to read, but not
as detailed. I like them both very much.

I’ve been reading sci fi for 40 years and Ender’s Game is by
far the best story I’ve come across. Dune is a good story but gets lost is so much detail which is why the movie sucked so bad.

Similiar in the sense that both get into what it means to be a true warrior, and how the mind is the greatest weapon - and the greatest vulnerability.
In any event, if you read Dune, you MUST read Ender's Game.
