Xenocide (1991) is a science fiction novel by American writer Orson Scott Card, the third book in the Ender's Game series. It was nominated for both the Hugo and Locus Awards for Best Novel in 1992. The title is a combination of 'xeno-', meaning alien, and '-cide', referring to the act of killing, together meaning the act of killing populations of aliens; comparable to genocide.

I've read complaints about the Ender Saga saying that it disagrees in many points with modern quantum physics. This is certainly true, but that's because the science is based on quantum physics, and in this book, [a:Orson Scott Card|589|Orson Scott Card|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1294099952p2/589.jpg] made it clear (to the observant reader) where his science really comes from.

To anyone familiar with deeper Mormon doctrine, this book is very familiar. He might as well have called it "The Book of Abraham," since that was clearly his primary source.

Not that that bothers me at all. This was a very entertaining, and very deep, book. The story was profound and touching. It really looks at what it means to be a person.
