I just watched Ender's Game - I won't spoil the particulars for people who haven't watched it or don't like spoilers, :lol but it has some similarities to the Tindrel History. I'll tell you how in the hider below. Beware though it might ruin the film. :sun

SPOILER ALERT[hider= Enders Game - Tindrel History possible similarities] Ender practically glasses the entire planet in the final battle, which is similar to what supposedly happens in the run-up to the enslavement of the Tindrel collective. Whether or not there was a massive misunderstanding which preceded this annihilation like in the film (and also the extent of the BESC cover-up) is up for debate. This destruction comes about because the Formic aliens try to set up a colony on Earth but Humanity takes it completely the wrong way and they get into a costly war. Very interesting, i'm going to look into the book series and see if i can't learn something. :rolleyes[/hider]
