In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War.

Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die.

"Speaker for the Dead" is the winner of the 1986 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1987 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
