安德•威金被招募到太空战斗学校。安德表现出色，因为他明白在太空中没有上下之分。安德很孤独，但最终遇到了一个叫佩特拉的女孩，她教他如何进行零重力激光对抗游戏，这个游戏是整个学校的重点。安德练习这个游戏，很快就被调到老鼠部队去了。在那里，他遇到了丁克米克，后者提醒他，游戏只是一个游戏，成年人只是说谎的混蛋。

安德被任命为龙军司令。安德和龙军一次又一次取得了胜利，即使身处逆境时也是如此。安德甚至打败了他的老上司邦佐。所以邦佐想杀死安德。但安德痛打了邦佐，并为此感到难过。

格拉夫上校带安德去了指挥学校。在指挥学校，安德遇到了第二次虫族入侵时的英雄马泽•·雷汉。马泽给安德设置了一种新的计算机模拟方法，这次安德让他在战斗学校的老朋友们担任他的副指挥官。他们玩起了模拟游戏，并且赢得了比赛。但事实证明这是一场真正的战争。

所以安德在一次非常戏剧性的种族灭绝行动中杀死了虫族。安德对此感到非常难过。后来，安德遇到了虫族女王，并决定帮助她找到一个新的星球，在那里虫族可以重新开始他们的种族。
