Speaker for the Dead is a really interesting book right from the beginning if you read Ender's Game first. So it is 3000 years after Ender has eradicated the bugger aliens. And there is another alien race that the humans are trying to protect. They are also studying them and they call them the piggies. Ender has been traveling the universe to find a place to let the new hive queen start a new colony. He has been traveling with it for those 3000 years and he really hasn't completely killed all the bugger aliens. But it is his purpose in his life to restore their race. This is because he is pretty upset about how he killed off a whole race. And where I've come to in the book is where the hive queen in its cocoon has told him that the place for them to start a new colony is Lusitania. The planet name that the piggies live on. I can't wait to read further. The questions I ask along with Ender is, Will the buggers and the piggies be able to strive together? and, Will the people of the universe allow the buggers to live again? I will have to see. Here is an interview on the movie Ender's Game.
Here is a picture of the hive queen depicted in the movie.
Out of all the blogs I read this book looks very interesting! I'll definently check it out. And I like how you used videos in some of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteHa! Piggies! Anyways Speaker of the Dead seems like a story filled with potential of excellent plot, characterization, and overall a good read. Your use of videos and pictures are a notable perk of your blog as well.
