Speaker for the Dead (Ender Wiggins Saga)

by Orson Scott Card

Speaker for the Dead (Ender Wiggins Saga) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War.

Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth.

Review:

"A great read!"--UPI Reviews

"Less brash than Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead may be a much better book. Don't miss it!--Analog

"Told with compassion and keen insight, this powerful sequel to Ender's Game is highly recommended."--Library Journal
