The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought
in the hearts 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 eh
destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its
way, a second xenocide seems inevitable
As the series progress it seems almost to evolve into a lecture on human thought. These are great books.
ReplyDeleteDo these books also go into character development, or is it mostly about the plot line?
ReplyDeleteReally they do alot of both.
DeleteI wonder if Card read a lot of philosophy? (I don't know the answer to this question, btw).
