I already wrote a review for this and I really liked it but something went wrong and it wasn't saved. Anyway, on with the review. "Speaker for the Dead" is set 3,000 years after the events in "Ender's Game." However, Ender is still the main character, and only 35 at that, due to a number of journeys in deep space. The name Ender, once praised by everyone, is now cursed and spat upon, while the original Speaker for the Dead is almost worshiped by those who believe in their methods. Ender arrives on Lusitania, a planet with other life with intelligence similar to humans, to speak for ones of the locals. However, he has an ulterior motive; to find a place where the Hive Queen can live and regrow her population in peace. While there, Ender gets caught up in the lives of the locals as he never has before, and the results are quite interesting. All in all, I really enjoyed the book, and while "Ender's Game" is fine as a stand-alone novel, "Speaker for the Dead" is a great read if you wish to continue exploring Ender's world, and experience what Ender is like as an adult.
