Synopsis
The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought in the heart 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 the destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way, a second xenocide seems inevitable. Xenocide is the third novel in Orson Scott Card's Ender Quintet.

    My experience buying from this seller is positive. Item is as advertised. Though the item is missing it's original slipcase/slipcover. The seller was really nice enough to place the item in a plastic sleeve/resealable bag which preserves protects the item & adds a really nice touch to receive an item so nicely packaged it's professional. It was a pleasant surprise. Attention to detail in the packaging of this item made it a plus for me. Fast shipping. Good value. Thank you very much.

    FAST shipping and a great price. Item description was a bit generous, but this item was dirt cheap . So I'm not that put out. Packaging was a bit on the thin and flimsy side, but again, shipping was dirt cheap, too, so I don't really expect the seller to do more than they did. And, to be clear, the item didn't take a beating in shipping. No harm, no foul. Overall, I am satisfied. My complaints are minor, tempered by the fact that this was not a high dollar item. Would buy again.

    This feedback is off base and unwarranted. The description was 100% accurate with several descriptive photos. I have shipped 100's of rare RPG literature - much more expensive than this item - sealed in waterproof poly bags inside highly-rated uncrushable & unbendable stiff mailers I have found bulkier packaging to be wasteful and overkill. I spend a great deal of time researching performative packaging that gets the item to buyer with no damage. Please review my other feedback ratings.

  • Continuing a fantastic storyline!

    The "Enderverse" series is one of my favorites in sci-fi! I bought this to replace a copy I lost. A lot of insight into the nature of humans contrasted with different beings.
