30. Speaker for The Dead - Orson Scott Card
323 pages, Bought in Charity Shop
This is the sequel to Ender's Game and is unlike any sequel I've ever read! Like Ender's Game, it won both the Nebula Award (1986) and Hugo Award (1987)
If you're looking for Ender's Game 2 then you're going to be disappointed.
It is vastly different to the original book, following a grown up Andrew "Ender" Wiggin on the planet Lusitania, as he acts as "Speaker for the Dead" for a murdered Xenologer, and tries to understand the third sentient species to be discovered ; the Pequeninos.
Totally unexpected story that took me by surprise at how much I enjoyed it. Once again, worthy of all the accolades it has received.
I give this 5 "Piggies" out of 5
