'There aren't too many recent sf novels we can confidently call truly moral works, but Speaker for the Dead is one. It's a completely gripping story.' - The Toronto Star 'Achieves and delivers more than almost anything else within the science fiction genre, Ender's Game is a contemporary classic' - New York Times on Ender's Game A FALLEN HERO - HAUNTED BY HIS PAST, BUT CAN HE CHANGE THE FUTURE? Ender Wiggin was once considered a great military leader, a saviour for mankind. But now history judges his destruction of an alien race as monstrous rather than heroic. In the aftermath of the war, Ender disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story behind the battle with the aliens. Now, years later, a second alien race has been discovered. But again they are strange and frightening - and again, humans are dying. It is only the Speaker for the Dead, secretly Ender Wiggin, who has the courage to confront the mystery . . . and the truth. The Hugo and Nebula award-winning sequel to the classic science fiction novel ENDER'S GAME - soon to be released as a major motion picture starring Harrison Ford.

Some of the most hauntingly brilliant writing of the decade -- INTERZONE on ENDERS GAME An increasingly popular and relevant novel that risks and achieves and delivers more than almost anything else within the science fiction genre, Ender's Game is a contemporary classic -- NEW YORK TIMES on ENDERS GAME A gripping tale of adventure in space and a scathing indictment of the military mind -- LIBRARY JOURNAL on ENDERS GAME Card has taken the venerable SF concepts of a superhuman and interstellar war . . . and, with superb characterisation, pacing and language, combined them into a seamless story of compelling power -- BOOKLIST on ENDERS GAME Almost impossible to put down -- LOCUS on ENDERS GAME An incredible ending that knocks you sideways -- SUNDAY EXPRESS on ENDERS GAME A great read! -- UPI REVIEWS Less brash than Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead may be a much better book. Don't miss it! -- ANALOG Told with compassion and keen insight, this powerful sequel to Ender's Game is highly recommended -- LIBRARY JOURNAL
