Speaker for the Dead, by Orson Scott Card

I just started Speaker for the Dead, the sequel to Ender's Game. The story takes place 3,000 years after the events of Ender's Game. Humans have discovered a second intelligent species and are determined to preserve it after the genocide of the buggers. The humans have set up the colony of Lusitania on a jungle world. The human Starways Congress has declared that the humans must have a minimal contact with the alien "piggies"(they look like pigs).

I am interested to see how the humans relationships with the aliens change over the course of the book. I will also be interested to see how Ender fits into the sequel. The book is very enjoyable so far and I will continue to read it. I chose this book because I had read Ender's Game and enjoyed it. I also wanted to know what happened next. I also chose the book because I like science fiction books.
