The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Speaker for the Dead':

Reviewer Simon Gao wrote:
This is the real goods here. It's so deep and insightful that it *can* change your life. It relates so well to ordinary life and all sorts of relationships. The book follows up with Ender trying to redeem himself for the xenocide he committed in Ender's Game by helping to save a new alien race from human colonists. The book actually takes place generations later, but Ender's alive due wandering the worlds by space-travel (traveling at just under light speed prolongs his life).
Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
Ender Wiggin, the hero and scapegoat of mass alien destruction in Ender's Game, receives a chance at redemption in this novel. Ender, who proclaimed as a mistake his success in wiping out an alien race, wins the opportunity to cope better with a second race, discovered by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania. Orson Scott Card infuses this long, ambitious tale with intellect by casting his characters in social, religious and cultural contexts. Like its predecessor, this book won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
