Speaker for the Dead

Graff and Anderson are talking about their life at Battle School, retiring and life on Earth. They also talk about people going to live on the bugger planet. Ender was in court about whether what he did to Stilson and Bonzo was an act of murder or in self-defense. Ender was famous and didn't like all the attention. To him, he was a murderer and others didn't care because he was only a child. Ender got to see Valentine who was able to go with the first colony to a bugger planet and wanted Ender to go with her. The Earth was being run by Statesman, Peter Wiggin, and he planned on using Ender to his advantage. Ender was awarded the rank of admiral.

Ender would govern the colony and Valentine would write political philosophy on this new planet. Ender only wanted to go so he could study the life of buggers. Val wrote volumes of books of the bugger world and sent them back to Earth by ansible. People were on their way to the bugger planets and would learn more about the planet when they got there.

Abra and Ender went to go find a place to settle in where the two colonies could trade but far enough that they could be governed separately. They found a place that looked like the giant's corpse from the fantasy game, so Ender went to the tower in the same place and opened the mirror to find a white ball of silk. Ender could picture in his mind what to do with the ball of silk. It would be a way he could bring the buggers back to life. He grabbed it and would decide what to do with it later.

Ender wrote a book about the queen bugger from her point of view and signed it as "Speaker of the Dead". He wrote a book for Peter after he died. Then Valentine and Ender traveled from world to world trying to find a place for the bugger cocoon.
