Speaker for the Dead
Suddenly we are 3,000 years into the future.
Ender is an adult now, 35 years old. All we really know about the 22 years since Ender’s victory on Eros is that he was exiled soon after and he has been traveling the galaxy at relativistic speeds. A careful reader will find bits and pieces, clues to the past but it’s largely a mystery. In any event, Ender begins a new adventure soon after the book begins.
Having destroyed an entire alien species Ender is racked with guilt over the war. He carries with him atonement and he has been looking for the right planet for a long time.
This book expands the Ender-verse and is the real beginning of the much larger story.
Ender’s Game
I was assigned Ender's Game in 10th grade English class. The class had an excellent teacher who let me read the first three books for assignments. It really left an impression on me and Ender's character has been with me for decades.
He seems like a titan to me. A being in tune with the universe and humanity's greatest champion. The little boy named Andrew Wiggin fights for all of humanity and wins. He ends a galactic-scale conflict—and others—so abruptly and so completely that there is no choice but to call him Ender. The Destroyer of Worlds.
"I am mighty Time, the source of destruction that comes forth to annihilate the worlds. Even without your participation, the warriors arrayed in the opposing army shall cease to exist."
I recently read the book again with my son, who has also taken to the series. We are both nearing the end of Ender in Exile. I believe it is the eleventh book in the series, and it has been an incredible journey.
I recommend you read this book
