So, to prevent the destruction of the technologically primitive but socially complex piggies, Starways Congress declares them off-limits to all but a few specialists: biologist Pipo, his son Libo, and Libo's emotionally crippled girlfriend Novinha. In my novel, space travel is treated much like it is in Star Trek or Star Wars, but in Speaker for the Dead when one travels at near light speed, they age only a week or so as a couple of decades pass on both the planet they’re leaving and their destination.
.who promptly murder him as part of a weird ritual.
Scott makes the adults in the novel take responsibility for their action and inaction. The story is well told and compelling. Posted on June 7, 2020 by therobbywade.
Yesterday I finished Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. Very passionate about basketball and sports in general but that's just the tip of the iceberg!
When humans die at the hands of the aliens, humanity must decide whether to treat the alien actions as if they were human actions or acknowledge that they don’t understand what death means to the aliens.
This book could probably be read on it’s own, but it contains numerous spoilers for Enders Game and I can’t think of any good reasons why you wouldn’t want to read that one.
This book made me a little jealous.
Speaker for the Dead follows Ender Wiggin as he speaks for the dead (you’re just gonna have to read it to know what that means) 3000 years after the events in Ender’s Game.
Speaker for the Dead—Review. I seem to be doing two posts a day recently.

by Matt Ruff This book is also a good example of the potential for science fiction to address human condition analysis in unique ways specific to the genre.
RELEASE DATE: Feb. 16, 2016. In the northern U.S. of the mid-1950s, as depicted in this merrily macabre pastiche by Ruff (The Mirage, 2012, etc. At least Atticus isn’t alone; his uncle George, who puts out annual editions of The Safe Negro Travel Guide, is splitting driving duties in his Packard station wagon “with inlaid birch trim and side paneling.” Also along for the ride is Atticus’ childhood friend Letitia Dandridge, another sci-fi fan, whose family lived in the same neighborhood as the Turners. If you’re the least bit inclined to read science fiction, you should read this book. I enjoyed Ender’s Game, but Speaker is better. .
This book series is pretty confusing because this book actually starts at the end of the first novel. The Speaker turns out to be Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, still alive thanks to the time-dilation effects of light-speed travel; he soon sorts out the tangled family relationships and learns to communicate with the piggies (they turn out to be more intelligent than humans!). Retrieve credentials. I highly recommend it.

Yesterday I finished Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. On Lusitania, the humans exist along with the Pequeninos, an alien race that is pig-like and the inhibitors of the planet.

I was told before going in that the rest of Orson Scott Card’s Ender series is massively different compared to the original Ender’s Game novel. The characters are well developed, and the story unfolds over the course of most of their lifetimes, though the main character experiences this time frame as a matter of months due to his space travel.
But another planet has requested a Speaker for the Dead and Ender has decided to travel to this faraway planet to help someone that reminds him of his former self.
Ender arrives 22 year-year later do to space travel and tries to fix Novinha’s family and the root of the problem while preventing another massacre of an alien race. ‧
RELEASE DATE: March 3, 1986.

The technology is well explained and pertinent to the story, so the reader doesn’t run the risk of getting sidetracked into passages about how cool the future technology is without it moving the story anywhere.

Several years ago I read Ender’s Game, the book to which Speaker for the Dead is a sequel. | Years pass before Novinha's children summon a Speaker for the Dead—a sort of wandering oral confessor-biographer—to uncover the truth about Pipo and Libo and why the piggies killed them.
