For some odd reason that I really don't know Smasher.....I just don't like Ender's Trance. Lol.

I now have a question about this new book. Does it take place on the colony that Dink is on or is it a new one that we haven't heard of?

I think that "Ender's Exile", mentioned a couple of pages back, is really the most tantalizing of the lot.

I really don't know why other than something I heard on page 10 after skimming about how it's the Ender in the later books who's the real Ender, and this'd be the End of the 'old' Ender. This would also tie in to the whole thing about The End of The World in the Fantasy Game. Kinda sounds like he's dieing though.
Methinks OSC (who my sources tell me is really SOC) wants me dead with all these new books:
Now, lets make a book that ties in with this and that one, so he has to read ALL of them over again! [insert evil laughter here]

Thank you. I finished it in under a day as I do all of your books, and at the end I realized that there was still more to tell. Regarding the book it was excellent. Not to sound like a trekkie (no offence since I know you are a fan) but I did see a few grammatical errors. No more then you will find in this short post though. Thank you again for giving the world Ender and Bean. ~A~

The real question is if OSC is even reading these anymore, which I personally think he should since ther are some gems in these later ones. (*coughs and points to his own*)

Yeah really 620 replies wow! And most posts have like a lot of titles but that makes up for the posts that have none so I don't even wanna count how many tit;les were proposed.

It seems ashame that the title absolutely must have the word "Ender" in it. Because I can think of fifty titles that *don't* use Ender.
Too bad it couldn't be "Ender's Valentine", because that could have all kinds of multi-level meaning. Because Valentine is his sister, but a valentine is also a token of love (well, to us Westerners anyway) and love always seems to be beautiful and difficult for Ender. And if it contains anything about the conversation that Peter and Ender had in SOTG, then that's just a whole can of love/hate/hurt/pain/sorrow/forgiveness/regret right there.
"Alas, Ender"
or
"Ender Speaking" or "Ender Spoke". If this novel somehow picks up on how he becomes the Speaker for the Dead. I think that would be fascinating in it's own right. "Ender's Voice", maybe. I'm sure somebody has said this before. I didn't have time to read all the posts before I posted this. So forgive me if I'm repeating what someone else has already said.

Oh....I've got it! Its perfect! No other title can compare! How about Ender, Formic Diplomat ? It emphasizes Ender's peaceful search for a new bugger homeworld and leaves everything else entirely open so Mr. Card can do whatever he wants.

Is it too late to offer an idea? I got to page 5 before I skipped all the way to the last page. Did anyone say, Ender: Transition(s), Ender's Atonement?

Wow, I actually have a login here... Didn't remember signing up for one, but whatever. Oh, and I also haven't read anything of SOTG besides the three free chapters. No worries, though. I will.
SO, we're going with an ender in the title here.
How about...
Ender's Trial
Ender's Truth
Ender's Phantom
Ender's Price
Ender's Journey
Ender's Destiny
Ender's Courage
Ender and the Bean Stalk.... Heh.
Ender's Endgame (heh)
Ender Wiggin, P.I. (To refference the tom sawyer thing.)
I never want to read through those ever again. I deleted most of my repeats... I didn't even notice that there were 13 pages until I was done and I wanted to go to bed an hour ago.

Actually, these are wonderful. I usually go through this process completely alone. You have come up with a much better list.
And you also know what novel titlers all learn - that once you start, it's hard to stop. Even when you have already published the book, you keep thinking of new titles. Frustrating it is when you think of the very best title just as the book reaches the stores with the second best title on it.
Has anyone already suggested the ultimate computer instruction manual in the Ender universe?
Ender's Key Ender: Key and Keyhole Ender: Key and Lock Ender: Key and Locke Ender: The Downward Spiral Ender: 2000 years of Human Error Ender: Control, Alter, Destroy

Ender: Phantom of the Opera Ender's Book Ender's Pen Ender's Pencil Ender's Really long title to mock those of geekazoid for this tile for the book is longer than most of his titles for that book and so Orson Scott Card should choose this title just for the fact that it goes--- ON AND ON MY FRIENDS! SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS. BUT NOW THEY JUST KEEP SINGING IT FOR EVER AND EVER JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDers IT GOES ON AND ON MY-- *gets whacked on the head by a mutant penguin*

Ender: The truth behind the Lies behind the truth behind the boy behind the colony behind the solor system behind the galaxy behind the universe behind the lies behind the truth behind the lies behind the kid who is really bored as he just keeps on pressing keyes on a keyboard which then convert into binary in the computer which then converts into pixels on an electronic screen which seems to spell out words, behind the thruth behind the penguin who most viciosly attacked dark angel in his previous post.

(i forget) if its a story about Achilles II and Andrew (Ender doesn't seem all that fitting anymore) then it has to have SOMETHING to do with it, "Ender's Past" I think is aceptable since Ender goes face to face with his past. Imagine this:
Ender and Valentine are walking down a street on the planet Pittsburgh its a crowded market street with people barganing back in forth in a few languages and Ender and Valentine are browsing the wares as tourists then a small child catches Andrew's eyes, a small boy small but with eyes that beseeched a fierce intellegance that were always looking, studying his surroundings. He was trying to buy something apparently some kind of game, Andrew walks over buys the game for him and hands it to him and simply walks back to Valentine who has a puzzled look on her face. He shruggs and says: "He reminded me of Bean" and that was that Adnrew diddn't want to talk any more about it and the two continued on their way.
However they didn't notice the boy whoes name the world once feared was starring off at them in sudden hatred.
Thats how I imagine the story psuedo starting. I know probably not as good as Mr. Card would write it but thats sorta my idea. So ya I like Ender's Past but please remember this is not a DnD table where you roll a D100 for a name's pre/sufixes.

Maybe when Mr. Card is ready to choose a title he could narrow it down to 5 or so choices (from this thread and/or his own ideas) and let us vote.

*points to a gun* frankly the idea of adapting anything that remotly sounds like and other title doenst appeal to me, and I really don't think it'll end up as Ender's [blank], since speak etc didnt have ender in their title. If think its only the first 2 books Ender's Game/Shadow that will have the Ender name attached. I dont know for sujre but it sounds like a tyle and I like it that way. Meh, if the majority like it another way I wont argue I just want to have more books.... precious books... the plot is ultimatly more important then the title itslef.

OSC said at the beginning of this thread that the rule was the title had to have Ender in it.
However, I do king of like the idea of breaking the trend and not having it be Ender's ____ (though some of those were really good...I still love Ender's Gate).

I don't think that OSC will actually let us vote though, because if we choose one that isn't his favourite he shouldn't have to be obligated to use it anyway...
Even though we are the ones putting bread on his table and a roof over his head

I agree with "Ender" as being the best. Hey it wouldn't it be great if the webmaster put up a link where we could all vote on this? Hint Hint. Posts: 14 | Registered: Mar 2005

Here's the problem with Ender: it's a cop-out. It's like Metallica naming an album "Metallica." It's done so you know what you're getting, kind of like those generic boxes of corn flakes.
