内容简介

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 inevitble.

作者简介

奥森?斯科特?卡德是当今美国科幻界最炙手可热的人物之一。在美国科幻史上，从来没有人在两年内连续两次将“雨果”和“星云”两大科幻奖尽收囊中，直到卡德横空出世。1986年，他的《安德的游戏》囊括雨果奖、星云奖，1987年，其续集《死者代言人》再次包揽了这两个世界科幻文学的最高奖项

卡德生于华盛顿州里奇兰，在犹他州长大，分别在杨百翰大学和犹他大学取得学位，目前定居于北卡罗莱纳州。卡德坚信小说具有教化意义，应该向读者传递积极上进的信息。“安德”系列小说便充分反映出作者的这种观念。这个系列还包括《安德的影子》《霸主的影子》等
