From Publishers Weekly
Card's novel Ender's Game introduced Ender Wiggin, a young genius who used his military prowess to all but exterminate the "buggers," the first alien race mankind had ever encountered. Wiggin then transformed himself into the "Speaker for the Dead," who claimed it had been a mistake to destroy the alien civilization. Many years later, when a new breed of intelligent life forms called the "piggies" is discovered, Wiggin takes the opportunity to atone for his earlier actions. This long, rich and ambitious novel views the interplay between the races from the differing perspectives of the colonists, ethnologists, biologists, clergy, politicians, a computer artificial intelligence, the lone surviving bugger and the piggies themselves. Card is very good at portraying his characters in these larger, social, religious and cultural contexts. It's unfortunate, then, that many of the book's mysteries and dilemmas seem created just to display Ender's supposedly godlike understanding. A fine, if overlong, novel nonetheless.

3000 years past the end Of Ender's Game we once again meet Ender Wiggins who due to various technologies is able to remain young and still remains a Speaker for the Dead. He not only is able to tell the life of one whose passed on but also to tell of the desires and the dreams they had that diodn't come to pass in order to give a more rounded picture of who each individual was in their heart as well as in their life. This is a beautifully written tale and was the winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards in 1986.

Finished it today, and loved it. The story is very well written, creative, different from regular science fiction tales.
