Speaker for the Dead

Really fascinating book. I love sci-fi where there is an alien species that humans have trouble understanding for whatever reason

His books are beautiful, and were influential to me when I was younger, particularly Speaker for the Dead.

Speaker for the Dead is worth the time for sure, the other three I'm not entirely convinced.

I also recently read Speaker For The Dead (sequel to Enders Game) and was pleasantly surprised. Possibly better than the original.

The Speaker for the Dead branch of the sequels; Ender goes on to do more than just feel sorry for the Formics, and other intelligences that humanity discovers. Arguably, he more than makes amends for the mistakes he and the rest of humanity make.

Instead I would suggest Speaker For The Dead, the sequel to Ender's Game and a remarkable novel.

I think "Speaker For The Dead" which is the second book in the Ender Series is better than the Ender book itself. The first 10 pages which is the authors introduction is the best introduction to a book I have ever read.
