About This Audiobook

Xenocide is the third installment of the Ender series. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. But Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus which kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order to transform into adults. The Starways Congress so fears the effect 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.

Deeper, Longer, Flawed but Brilliant!

This novel, the third in a series of four, is generally considered the weakest by the fans of the series.I wholeheartedly disagree!This book is yet another departure from the previous book in the series; Speaker is a much different animal than Ender's Game, and so this is likewise much different….

★★★★☆

It’s Getting Complicated

Xenocide, the third book of the Ender’s Game series, continues the story from Speaker For the Dead. It is a far more difficult story to follow as it is filled with philosophy, physics, religion, and strategy, much more than action and could perhaps have risked some editing. As it is,…

The Piggies are sort of like Ewoks who can speak Human languages fluently and who …

Mixing religion into works of science fiction is nothing new. Most of the time it simply does not work, as the respective authors will wind up misapplying Judeo-Christian symbols or interpreting them in an overly-literal manner. Mr. Card, however, manages to avoid that problem by not trying to interpret prophecy,…

What a disappointment! What a tedious drag to a non-ending!

Sorry to say it but this was a most disappointing read after the first two books. Ender's Game was a classic and the follow up was not bad, but this third effort really is poor. The story drags on and on though endless psycho analysis of a psychotic family -…
