Except it has to have "Ender" in the title. Like: The Arrival of Ender Unearthing Ender Echoes of EnderPosts: 973 | Registered: Apr 2005

I wanted to read through the hole thing so that I didn't repeat anyone, but it's sixteen pages, and even I don't have THAT much time on my hands. I was thinking, Never End Never Ender Never Ends etc...

Mr. Card How about this you write the book then you come back and see which of our suggestions is most relevant:) please do this because all these suggestions are confubling me

Holy cow, there are still people suggesting book titles? By pages two and three titles were already being repeated. With this many suggestions, even if OSC thinks up a title on his own it will surely be listed here and he'll have to credit them.

Muahahaha Wouldn't that be a fanatic's dream? Highly doubtful he's read more than a few pages of this thread, though. He'll probably follow Geekazoid's suggestion if he hasn't already come up with a conclusive title by the time he's done writing, but that's likely the only situation where he'll bother sifting through all of this mess.

I'm a newbie (hi folks), but I got caught up in this opportunity to put my two cents worth into this naming thing... so... How about:
Ender's Answer
I am not assuming a question or who may have asked it, nor am I assuming that Ender gave the answer or found it.
I have a few questions anyway.
Will anyone from Ender's Jeesh contact him by ansible for whatever reason?
Is there a connection between Bean's babies and the God Spoken of Path? Achille's sojourn in China could suggest it, and while in Brazil, he may have had the connections to arrange for that colony.
Well... so much for my presumption <grin>
I have yet to listen to Shadow of the Giant (I say listen, because I have not the books, but the unabridged audio series) but I very much look forward to it.
To OSC... thank you very much for the wonderful work you do. I enjoy the insights... the little treasures hidden in the text that provide such wonderful food for thought. I soon go again to the buffet line.

Here's my two bits... if repeated, then eh! Great minds think alike.
Ender's Game: Beyond Battleschool!
Ender's Advances (or just Ender Advances... heck, sign a deal with Nintendo on Ender Advance, or Ender DS.)
Why not advertise with the title? "The exciting new novel from Orson Scott Card, bridging the gap between Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead!" You'll be the nightmare of cataloging librarians the world over.
Go the Beatles route, and just release a book with a white cover!
The Forest Moon of Ender! The Witch of Ender! (Same pun, different source!)
Journey to the Stars. No Ender, to be sure, but has the same lilt as many of your other titles.

Oh, man, I haven't laughed that hard in ages. Thanks, man!

Just curious as to some information....Is the child one of Bean's kids with atons key or no...Will he have the super intelligence or just above intelligence...or more is he Ender's equal or superior. I have seen Ender's Mirror several times and like it but I like it to mean Ender as he felt seeing Peter in the mirror at the fantasy game. A genuis with evil in his heart and wanting to conquer the world as his father did but was stopped by Peter and Bean...also will he hate Ender or not? Ender was gone from Battleschool before Achilles got there and was gone for Earth before the battle between Peter, Bean and Achilles played out. I'd also like to see Alai come back because Ender was so close to him. Maybe, though it should one of the Jeesh who worked with Achilles when kidnapped by him. Maybe someone who now likes the child of Achilles but will be moved to see Ender again...another moral decision to be the enemy of a friend. The only other thing I have thought of could be Ender:The Crossroads

I also wonder about if Ender has to be in the title Mr. Card because from Speaker on he wasn't but is in every book. I know alot of people who just by seeing your name think Ender....just a thought

At the end of Ender's Game, Ender and Valentine travel to a bugger world to set up the first colony. That world is called "Ender's World" in the book... (Paperback edition page 315... Quote: "Soon there would be other colonies on this world, Ender's World; soon there would be neighbors; already they were halfway here; but no one cared.")
So maybe the book should be called "Ender's World."

Hot soup, I agree. It's a good idea, but we're just not ready for the intensity of that yet... lol

In my opinion, he was forced away. Not only did the Locke Proposal bar (was it law or suggestion?) him from returning to Earth, but if he did choose to return he would have undoubtedly been hunted by Achilles and killed or used. He honestly was forced into exile.

Hmm...now that I've finished the book (sorry, I read in my spare time and TV doesn't allow much of that...) I still stand by my belief that there won't be as much (if any) world-dominating military strategery in the next book...how about "Ender's Burden" - since the whole baby's daddy thing will come into play and the boy wonder will probably be the one explaining the truth, yes?

I don't think the question is over whether he was forced to leave Earth, that's obvious. It's that instead of staying on that first colony planet and settling down he decided to move around from planet to planet where no one would know who he was. He never really had a home until Lusitania.

Ender's Giant Giant of Ender Chronicles of Ender (since it is about his space travels) Ender's Legacy (again we will probably see his history change from that of a hero to mass murderer in this book)

Ok. I got a few ideas. Bean's kid is going to look a lot like him and is going to have his condition. Over the 120 or so years that it took Randi and her stolen child to reach the planet (Dink is the leader), Bean has become something of a hero. Young "Achilles" knows that he looks too much like Bean to be Achilles' child (he doesn't know of his defect) but still does as his mother asks and tries to take over the colony when Ender shows up.
The plot thickens when some on the colony come to believe that Young Achilles is Bean's reincarnation and was sent by god, allowing this poor sick (mentally) boy to gain power. It doesn't help that Randi has seen the Hive Queen that Ender carries and tries to steal it for political gain (not only his he Bean, back from the grave, but he brought the wonderful Formics back with him). It is up to Dink and Ender to set the record strait and stop this rebellion before things get too out of hand. Above all, Ender and Val must keep the Hive Queen safe and make Randi out for the semi-liar she is. But can Ender change the heart of young Achilles?

it's been a while since I read speakers but I don't believe val knew anything about the hive queen ender carried around... otherwise it sounds alright.. but I'd rather see what Mr. Card has swimming around in his head Posts: 3 | Registered: Apr 2005

I hope it's not "ender in exile" because in my personal opinion I still think that "Ender's Nemesis" would be the best choice. I REFUSE TO GIVE UP ON THAT!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm a dork. I know! Posts: 112 | Registered: Jun 2004

I like Ender's Giant...that is IF the main storyline will, in fact, be Randi, Achilles II, and Ender. It fits without sounding too corny. That's the problem with having the novel placed right between Ender'g Game and Speaker...it might come off as- cheap?

Hello, I am new and i haven't finished the last three shadow books yet, but and working on finishing them soon. a title that would be nice would be is, Ender's Hope or Ender Returns. Posts: 29 | Registered: Apr 2005

Ender's Quiche (an intense drama where Ender keeps getting slapped by the waitress for asking for a quickie) Night of Ender or Knight of Ender? (I don't know sounds like the title of some horrible serial killer movie.)
I'm particulary partial to Ender's Run, because of the reference to that most wonderful of cheesy movies: Logan's Run, which my dad made me watch, and also Ender's Ape, because Ender could encounter some primate (Ape or otherwise) who becomes his constant companion, just like in Robinson Crusoe on Mars. or Jay and Silent Bob Stike BackPosts: 681 | Registered: Feb 2004

Tying Up Loose Ender (that is the point of this one, right? ) Ender Justifies His Means
I like those two, but there're plenty more where those came from:
Making Ender Meet Wit's Ender To the Bitter Ender Off the Deep Ender Ender the Line Light at the Ender the Tunnel The Short Ender the Stick Ender Over Ender At the Ender My Tether All's Well if Ender's Well
All right, so "er" and "of" aren't quite the same, but let's not nitpick genius.

mine probably sound a bit hokey, but here goes . . .
Ender's Endeavor Ender's Excursion Ender's Voyage Ender's Impact Ender's Effect Searching for Ender or Ender in Search (he's trying to find himself essentially and come to terms with his own nature and demons, finding himself lost in the aftermath of committing "xenocide")
oh well, i tried. maybe one of them sounds decent.

Went looking for synonyms for "junction" . . . how about "Ender's circuit box"?
There was some talk about "Ender in Exile" being OSC's working title, and then ranting of it sounding forced (even though it doesn't, to me). My best alternative was "Ender's Transition", so what I wonder is how many people have already suggested it.
