Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
3 stars

This is the third book in the Ender Saga. Basically Ender is on planet called Lusitania that can provide for humans and two other species who need to find a way to live together in peace. However on this planet is a virus that kills humans but is essential to the development of one of the other species. The congress in power fears the virus getting off the planet and contemplates destroying everyone and everything on Lusitania.

I found it very difficult to even find the basic plot in this book. It jumps around to various characters discussing philosophy, religion, and the politics of this future age. It's also been awhile since I read that last book and I don't remember some of the relationship developments, not that any of it was particularly memorable. I am probably gonna stop here in the series, though I am very curious to see how the movies develop.

I think the 2 best books in this series are Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.
