A cure has not yet been discovered. On Lusitania, a new alien race known as Porquinhos is found. Shortly after the start of a human colony on the planet, the colonists die from the Descolada virus. The planet of Lusitania is newly populated by a colony of Portuguese Catholics. Ender, with the dormant Formic queen at his side, travels the universe looking for a new home for her species. No one realizes that the Speaker for the Dead is Ender. The humans, enraged by Ender’s revelations, turn their feelings of hatred on Ender, who becomes known as “The Xenocide.” They no longer hate their former enemies, the Buggers. Ender promised the queen he would help find a new home to restart the Formic species. Much of this Ender learned from the dormant Formic queen, who Ender secretly carries with him. The book tells the truth about what happened during the war and about the life and true nature of the Formics. Using the pseudonym “Speaker for the Dead,” Ender writes a book called The Hive Queen. This is challenging due to the enormous distances between star systems.Īs a “Speaker for the Dead,” Ender travels the universe conducting special services called “speakings.” During speakings, he tells the deceased person’s life story so that others can understand the significance of that person’s life. The Starways Congress, a government body, rules over all the human colonies. Humans travel by light-speed to discover new plants to colonize, and have already colonized planets where the Buggers once lived. Due to the difference in space and earth time, Ender is still alive and is now 25 years old.
This novel is set 3,000 Earth years after the Bugger War. After the terrible Bugger War, Ender Wiggin disappeared. Formics were an insect-like alien species also known as Buggers. The Buggers had killed millions of humans, but Ender was responsible for the “xenocide” of the Formic species. During the Bugger War, Ender unintentionally commanded the Earth’s military forces to exterminate an alien race known as the Buggers. His tactical brilliance identified him as a leader, but his greatest strength was his empathy for others. In the previous novel, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin was a brilliant and compassionate young man who trained at the Battle School. The sci-fi adventure Speaker for the Dead is an indirect sequel to Ender’s Game. Speaker for the Dead (1986) is the second of the five-novel Ender Series by Orson Scott Card.
