In 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. But 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 the destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way and a second xenocide seems inevitable. Until the fleet vanishes.

The task of discovering how the ships disappeared falls to Gloriously Bright, the most brilliant analytical mind in a world of people bred for superintelligence. There is little doubt that she can solve the puzzle; but will she choose life or death for the three races who live on Lusitania?

Xenocide is the third novel in Orson Scott Card's The Ender Saga.

What the critics say

“In his afterword, Card declares, ‘The ideal presentation of any book of mine is to have excellent actors perform it in audio-only format,' and he gets his wish. Card's phenomenal emotional depth comes through in the quiet, carefully paced speech of each performer. This is a wonderful way to experience Card's best-known and most celebrated work, both for longtime fans and for newcomers.” —Publishers Weekly on ENDER'S GAME

“The characters are memorable and the pace quick. An Earphones Award winner when originally released, this audiobook is well deserving of listeners' time.” —AudioFile magazine on ENDER'S GAME

Amazing book

Has much more deep philosophical thought than you'd expect from a sci-fi novel. first I struggled to get through the middle of it because I didn't enjoy where I felt the story was going, but the author didn't fail to surprise me in how much depth he'd put into this book. the VA switching felt arbitrary at times and took me out of it for a bit, and think that they might have slightly overacted with Bugger and Chinese parts with the accent.

Great philosophical story

Tie into the philosophical and the sci-fi is rich

I listened to this book after finishing the speaker for the dead. I enjoyed it. Good story and excellent narration.
My main problem with the story was dealing with the fact that a logical person like Ender believes so deeply in Christianity without questioning anything.

Good book

like the previous book, it took awhile to get going. once it did, it really ramped up and became impossible to stop.

slow to start, then BAM.
