Synopsis
Three thousand years after the events of Ender's Game, Andrew Wiggin travels to the planet Lusitania as a Speaker for the Dead to unravel the mystery behind a xenologist's brutal murder by the pequeninos, the only other sentient alien species humanity has discovered. As Ender investigates, he uncovers painful family secrets and faces the challenge of bridging understanding between two radically different civilizations.
