Xenocide: Volume Three of the Ender Quartet (Ender Wiggins Saga)by Orson Scott Card
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought in the hearts of a child named Gloriously Bright. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequininos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus that kills all humans it infects, but which the pequininos require in order to become adults. The Startways Congress so fears the effects of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered eh destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way, a second xenocide seems inevitble. Synopsis:"As a storyteller, Card excells in portraying the quiet drama of wars fought not on battlefields, but in the hearts and minds of his characters. . . . This meaty, graceful, and provoking sequel to Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead stands as a brilliant testimony to his thoughtfulness. A priority purchase".--Library Journal.
