Ender's Game An exciting, thought-provoking sci-fi novel about taking our cultural mandate for waging war to its extreme--eliminating intelligent life from another planet. Speaker For The Dead won't make much sense without reading this novel first.
Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus An interesting novel in which our descendents, faced with a declining population after years of famine, war and disease, decide to change history by sending someone back in time to prevent Christopher Columbus from bringing conquest to the Americas. The result is a very interesting blend of European and South American cultures.
Speaker For The Dead(Sequel to Ender's Game) This book deals with a planet in which all life is inextricably linked, even more so then our own ecosystems, in which each species of life is absolutely necessary to the life of the planet.
Xenocide The last novel of the trilogy(Ender's Game, Speaker For The Dead) joins the themes of the first two together in a redemptive way.
