La voz de los muertos / Speaker for the Dead

Orson Scott Card

La aclamada segunda parte de El juego de Ender, ganadora de los premios Nebula 1986, Hugo 1987 y Locus 1987.Una de las mejores sagas de ciencia ficcion jamas publicadas. Despues del genocidio de los Insectores, Ender Wiggin desaparecio y en su lugar surgio una voz poderosa: la nueva religion de los Portavoces de los muertos, que sirven como sacerdotes a los que no creen en ningun Dios y, sin embargo, creen en los valores de los seres humanos.

Han pasado tres mil anos desde los hechos de El juego de Ender, pero los efectos del viaje relativista permiten la presencia de un Ender de treinta y cinco anos, que sera el elemento central en el segundo contacto de los seres humanos con otra raza galactica. Esta especie, al igual que los Inspectores, resulta completamente extrana y, en sus primeros acercamientos a los seres humanos, han causado muertes incomprensibles.

Solo Ender, el xenocida, tendra la valentia de afrontar la verdad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The acclaimed second part of Ender’s Game, winner of the 1986 Nebula Prize, 1987 Hugo Prize, and 1987 Locus Prize.

One of the best science fiction sagas ever published. After the Bugger genocide, Ender Wiggin disappeared and in his place a powerful voice arose: the new religion of the Speakers for the Dead, who serve as priests for those who don’t believe in any God but nevertheless believe in the values of human beings.

Three thousand years have passed since the events in Ender’s Game, but the effects of the relativist journey allow for the presence of a 35-year-old Ender, who is the central element in the second contact between human beings and another alien race. This species, like the Buggers, is completely strange and, in their first encounters with humans, have caused incomprehensible deaths.

Only Ender, the Xenocide, has the courage to face the truth.
