Speaker for the Dead (1986) is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and an indirect sequel to the novel Ender's Game. This book takes place around the year 5270, some 3,000 years after the events in Ender's Game. However, due to relativistic space travel Ender himself (who now goes by his real name Andrew Wiggin or by his title "Speaker for the Dead") is only about 35 years old.
This is the first book to talk about Starways Congress, a high standpoint Legislation for the human colonies. It is the first to fully mention the Hundred Worlds, 100 planets which humans colonized which are tightly intertwined by the xenocided Buggers' old Ansible technology. It also showed Ender's sister's terms for life forms, such as Varelse.
Like Ender's Game, the book won the Nebula Award in 1986,1 and the Hugo Award in 1987,2 making Card the first author in history to win both these awards in two consecutive years. Speaker for the Dead was published in a slightly revised edition in 1991. It was followed by Xenocide and Children of the Mind.

Get the the dead head mug.A farel mystical beast. Breed in the ominious dark of night, a creature half lizard, half cat escaped from the most foul depths of purgatory. With a fang so black and wicked it roams the South Side, causing tooth decay upon the innocent. As legend tells, if you can tame the brute he will spin you gold teeth from dental floss.
I crossed the Dead Tooth Dragon Panther, luckily I had some whiskey and like half a pack of cigs. He purred like a baby kitty and weaved me up this sick mouth piece. He is actually a pretty cool guy, were gonna hang sometime.

Get the Elect the Dead mug.Kick ass punk band!!! (from philly which makes them even better)
they pertty much are mocking the dead kennedys(which, btw are also a great band) and other "punk" bands
anyway they write about stereotypes and have a very dry sense of humor
the best songs (in my opinion) are bitchin camero, punk rock girl, tiny town and takin retards to the zoo
