Description
The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning series that began with Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead continues . . .
On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans, 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.
Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus that kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order to become adults. The Starways Congress so fears the effect of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that it has ordered the destruction of the entire planet and all who live there. The fleet is on its way, and a second xenocide seems inevitable.
