Or so he thought. <p/>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, a second xenocide seems inevitable. <p/>Xenocide is the third novel in Orson Scott Card's The Ender Saga. <p/>THE ENDER UNIVERSE <p/>Ender series <p/>Ender's Game / Ender in Exile / Speaker for the Dead / Xenocide / Children of the Mind <p/>Ender's Shadow series <p/>Ender's Shadow / Shadow of the Hegemon / Shadow Puppets / Shadow of the Giant / Shadows in Flight Children of the Fleet <p/>The First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston) <p/>Earth Unaware / Earth Afire / Earth Awakens <p/>The Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston) <p/>The Swarm /The Hive <p/>Ender novellas <p/>A War of Gifts / First Meetings</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Orson Scott Card</b> is best known for his science fiction novel <i>Ender's Game</i> and its many sequels that expand the Ender Universe into the far future and the near past. Those books are organized into The Ender Saga, the five books that chronicle the life of Ender Wiggin; the Shadow Series, that follows on the novel <i>Ender's Shadow</i> and are set on Earth; and the Formic Wars series, written with co-author Aaron Johnston, that tells of the terrible first contact between humans and the alien Buggers. Card has been a working writer since the 1970s. Beginning with dozens of plays and musical comedies produced in the 1960s and 70s, Card's first published fiction appeared in 1977--the short story Gert Fram in the July issue of <i>The Ensign</i>, and the novelette version of Ender's Game in the August issue of <i>Analog</i>. The novel-length version of <i>Ender's Game</i>, published in 1984 and continuously in print since then, became the basis of the 2013 film, starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin. Card was born in Washington state, and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he runs occasional writers' workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University. <p/>He is the author many sf and fantasy novels, including the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker (beginning with <i>Seventh Son</i>). There are also stand-alone science fiction and fantasy novels like <i>Pastwatch</i> and <i>Hart's Hope</i>. He has collaborated with his daughter Emily Card on a manga series, Laddertop. He has also written contemporary thrillers like <i>Empire</i> and historical novels like the monumental <i>Saints</i> and the religious novels <i>Sarah</i> and <i>Rachel</i> and <i>Leah</i>. Card's recent work includes the Mithermages books (<i>Lost Gate</i>, <i>Gate Thief</i>), contemporary magical fantasy for readers both young and old. Card lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, with his wife, Kristine Allen Card. He and Kristine are the parents of five children and several grandchildren.</p>
