"Card's prose is powerful here, as is his consideration of mystical and
quasi-religious themes. Though billed as the final Ender novel, this story
leaves enough mysteries unexplored to justify another entry; and Card fans
should find that possibility, like this novel, very welcome indeed."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on
Children of the Mind"Orson Scott Card made a strong case for being the best writer science fiction has to offer."

The Houston Post on
Xenocide"There aren't too many recent sf novels we can confidently call truly moral works, but
Speaker for the Dead is one. It's a completely gripping story."
--
The Toronto Star"This is Card at the height of his very considerable powers--a major SF novel by any reasonable standard."
