That's a bit confusing, since Achilles is dead and all.
Ender Wiggin: Xenocide? (With the question mark, to show that people are just starting to question the elimination of the buggers.) I don't know if this has been said yet, I know there have been similar things stated.

That seems like a bit of a mouthfull to me, especially because it has two possessives.
Ender In Between This could have several meanings. He's in between being Ender the Hero and Ender the Xenocide; he's in between parts of his life.

Mr. Card, I take your silence as confermation that my guess as to what the book is about was correct....a new and dangerous enemy for Ender. I am already looking forward to it if I am correct and just not over-assuming but I can't seem to think what else the book's conflict could possibly be about (given all the parties involved and the possible outcomes of the situation. However, I could be wrong but my current assumption is that I am right and I also don't expect you to reply to whether I am or not because that would infact expose more of what the book is about even before you have really got a significant amount of the book completed. But perhaps you can answer this.....a guess at when the book is due because I am greatly awaiting this book, more than any other you have published thus far. A guess wouldn't hurt would it?

And I still stand that if I am correct in my two posts on page eight then I still think that Ender's Nemesis would be the best name for the novel. I also now think that tanktaz's "Ender's Achilles Heel" would be equally great and appropriate. That is of course if I am correct.

Ender's enemy Ender's meeting of the heel I'll have some more later but what I'm wondering is how OSC you are going to have a book tie togethor the Shadow and the later Ender books? They are a loooong time apart, heh though with the spacetravel aspect I bet you can do it. Well anyway this is good I saw this thread because it was bothering me that in Sotg you mentioned the whole Randi thing then just left it like that.

Feh, fava beans are too much like lima beans. *wrinkles nose*
CrazyOne, you should check out the other side of the board. Fast-paced and a bit insane (but that should work for you), but loads of fun. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

"Speaks" is not quite right. I am not-quite-fluent in Hebrew, and several degrees worse in Yiddish. But I know a few dozen words and phrases, and conjugations of "meshugga" are certainly among them. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

My suggetion for the title is Enders Search Considering the very last wors in Enders Game Are
quote:he searched for a very long time
and also it goes along with the ideas that at this time ender is searching for a planet where the Buggers can start to regrow also he is searching for a new life considering that he is starting to become a villain in the eyes of humanity also he is searching for a way to escape his past which he will have to suddenly confront again because he might have to meat some one from his past such as a former jeesh member so i beileve this is a great title for this
Sorry if this was mentioned before i only read halfway through the posts
sorry realy wanted to do that
Geekazoid Impossible is nothing, nothing is impossible
This is after he wrote the Hive Queen and The Hegemon. So that means it could be the time where Ender was first feeling the impact of what he has written.

Somebody must have sai this because I'm not smart enough to think of it myself. Sorry to whoiever but listen to this. It isn't a name, I already said my good names earliuer on page 10. Which are pretty good if I might say so myself. He.. But listen to this tht planet could be Path. Their genteic differnce could be something related to Bean's condition\Achillees II condition. Like to get another character in it could be Hot Soup's planet. They could like figure out a cure but whatever and stuff about it and make it into Path and stuff. I dunno I'm thinking thats a cool idea.

suri-cool, while thats a good idea, methinks it couldnt really be done. Ender hadn't ever been to Path, had he? He probably would have remembered being there with the bean-spawn in Xenocide or COTM.

Hmmmm thats true but maybe you know he went to alotta plces and he didn't remember that or something SC could work on it a lot.

but then again, if it was important enough to write a book about, you'd think that he would remember it later on? not to be arugmentative or anything..

Suggestions, none of which are as good as some of the others suggested in this thread, but hey. I had fun throwing random words after the name Ender. If any of these have already been suggested, I apologize.
Ender’s Metamorphosis (in which he wakes up one day to find he has become a giant bugger) Ender’s Transformation Ender Journeying Ender Wandering Ender’s Exploration Ender’s Departure Ender’s Planet Ender the Savior Ender Ending Ender Begins (actually, this would probably make more sense as Andrew Begins, but that breaks the rule) Ender’s Discovery Ender Changing Ender in Transition Shadowing Ender Ender in Shadow(s) Ender’s Justice Ender Learning Ender’s Wisdom Ender’s Trouble Ender’s Opponent Ender’s Foe Ender Reinvented Battling Ender Life, the Universe and Ender ( ) A Time for Ender
I also like the idea of playing with the puppet/strings theme, because one of the most memorable scenes, to me, in Ender’s Game, was the one on the lake with Valentine, when Ender says something along the lines of “see the strings?” It was a reference to the way he was being controlled by his teachers, and I think it sums up his experiences in Ender’s Game very well. In the new book I expect to see him breaking free from those strings, so maybe something referencing that? I’ve come up with a few ideas, but I’m sure someone else can come up with better ones:
Ender: No Strings Attached Ender: Nobody’s Puppet Ender: No Puppet Ender: Puppet Master Ender, Freed
Some of my favorites that others suggest are Ender’s Gate, Ender’s Bridge (I like the allusion to Jane), Ender Adrift, Ender’s Search, Valentine’s Ender (if it focuses more on Val), and just plain Ender (or Andrew).

quote: What about more play on "End Game" from chess? Wasn't that where you got the idea for Ender's name, Mr. Card? I'm trying to think of a title that wouldn't be too similar to Ender's Game.
Ender's Knight Knightfall Ender's Knightfall
Afterall, he was as knight, but fell (from grace, at least) Homage to the great Asimov, too :-)

Ender's Passage
No, you cannot have "Ender's passage" - What with the English meaning of "buggers", it follows the rudeness on to an - unacceptable -association :-o
