        <dc:description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;A hundred years before &lt;em&gt;Ender's Game&lt;/em&gt;, humans thought they were alone in the galaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mining ship &lt;em&gt;El Cavador&lt;/em&gt; is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when &lt;em&gt;El Cavador&lt;/em&gt;’s telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it’s hard to know what to make of it. It’s massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the ship has other problems. Their systems are old and failing. The family is getting too big. There are claim-jumping corporates bringing Asteroid Belt tactics to the Kuiper Belt. Worrying about a distant object that might or might not be an alien ship seems...not important.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They're wrong. It's the most important thing that has happened to the human race in a million years. This is humanity's first contact with an alien race. The First Formic War is about to begin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Review&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Praise for &lt;em&gt;Xenocide&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Orson Scott Card made a strong case for being the best writer science fiction has to offer."&lt;br&gt;—&lt;em&gt;The Houston Post &lt;/em&gt;on* Xenocide&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Card has raised to a fine art the creation of suspense by means of ethical dilemmas."&lt;br&gt;—&lt;/em&gt;Chicago Sun-Times &lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt; Xenocide*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;About the Author&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;ORSON SCOTT CARD is the author of the international bestsellers &lt;em&gt;Shadow of the Giant&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Shadow Puppets&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Shadow of the Hegemon&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Ender's Shadow&lt;/em&gt;, and of the beloved classic of science fiction, &lt;em&gt;Ender's Game&lt;/em&gt;, as well as the acclaimed fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker. He lives in Greensboro, NC. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AARON JOHNSTON was the coauthor, with Orson Scott Card, of the contemporary SF thriller &lt;em&gt;Invasive Procedures&lt;/em&gt;.
