In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War.
Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth.

评分奥森·斯卡德是我最喜欢的科幻小说家,当年读《安德的游戏》时,我发觉我比较喜欢这位小说家,后来读《安德的影子》里,我发觉我已经有些崇拜这位小说家了,等到这次读了《死者的代言人》后,我觉得我可以跪拜这位小说家了,简单地说他已经进入到了神的领域,就和书中的安德一...
很棒,80年代的书,如此深度,不得不赞。不可思议,作者居然是摩门教徒,曾在巴西传教,难怪用天主教、葡萄牙语作故事背景。
评分很棒,80年代的书,如此深度,不得不赞。不可思议,作者居然是摩门教徒,曾在巴西传教,难怪用天主教、葡萄牙语作故事背景。
评分fascinating, perceptive。与第一部相比,人物关系更为复杂,感情线索也不再单一(出现了爱情,但并未深刻探讨)。剧情紧张(有看悬疑小说的紧张感)。人物刻画略微单薄(因为很多东西一笔带过),但世界观完备,对人性有深刻洞察与思考。非史诗级作品,但好看不烧脑,适合消遣。
评分未来外星人类学家的田野记录。不管从故事还是格局上都比安德的游戏要好很多。“如果我们在一个人葬礼上粉饰他的一生,无异于又杀了他一次”,不能同意更多。
评分it's just okay. not that great. Ender's Game just did not rise my interest that much. Sorry.
