Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
5.0

Not your typical science fiction novel. Speaker for the Dead is full of allegory and is driven by characters rather than plot. It's a sequel to Ender's Game but can be read on its own with just as much impact. Card does in writing what I Roddenberry did on television- reveal what humanity could and should be.
