 Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide Review, Children of the Mind
Xenocide is by far Orson Scott Card's most ambitious book of the series about Ender Wiggins.
Orson Scott Card originally intended for "Children of the Mind" and "Xenocide" to be one book, but decided to divide it into two more reasonably-sized books.
Because of this, Children of the Mind continues the Xenocide story-line almost directly from where it left off.

 Revew - Xenocide - Orson Scott Card
Xenocide’s immediate predecessor occasionally lapsed into the "dull" and the "irritating" but these dubious qualities are maximized in Xenocide with the heavy doses of half-baked philosophy and the endless unsympathetic pain of the Rubeiras.
Xenocide comes in somewhere in the suspicious category: there’s definitely some mold growing on the thing somewhere that worries us.
Xenocide recounts the efforts of Ender, his new family of Rubeiras, and the newly reunited sister Valentine—with the indispensable help of Jane—to solve the problems of saving humans, buggers, pequeninos, Jane, the psychological balance of Ender’s new family, and the denizens of Path.

Third in Orson Scott Card's "Ender" cycle, "Xenocide" charts the events on the planet of Lusitania, home to all three sentient species in existence, two of which are not represented anywhere else in the universe.
All living things on Lusitania are subject to a virus, the Descolada, which attacks and modifies the genetic information of the host and is evolving rapidly to the extend that combating it requires constant alteration of viricides in both non-native sentient species.
And whilst the writing is as good as ever - and I wish I could write half as well as that - the book just isn't in the same league as the first two, for me. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Xenocide Mission
One of the key Xenocides is Oomoing, a senior Mother of the Scientific Institute of one of their nations.
We learn that the Xenocides are fierce carnivores, and very warlike in basic orientation, but also that they are intelligent and not, on the face of it, xenocidal.
Once in XC space, the mission takes an unexpected turn, as the Xenocides attack and the Commonwealth ship is thrown into chaos by the treachery of an Earth-based observer and the only survivor of the race that formerly dominated the First Breed.

 Xenocide (Ender Wiggin Saga): Orson Scott Card   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Both views are valid to some extent, but if you're able to accept this book for what it is, then you'll find it's a superb book, well worth the time to read it.
Speaker for The Dead explores some larger issues as it tracks Ender's healing of Novinha's dysfunction family, and the plot is kept going partially through the mysteries concerning the pequininos.
Xenocide is different from both of these in that there's no real main character, and very little plot; instead, the focus of the story is the dillema faced by the three sentient species of Lusitania.

 [No title]
This is why the book is titled Xenocide, because all the known species of intelligent life - mankind, peqeunino and bugger - are in danger of extinction.
A second xenocide seems to be on the horizon unless Ender and company can figure out a way to stop it.
The plot itself fits flawlessly into the scheme of the saga and, as expected, the dialogue is smart and sharp.

 Review - Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
Xenocide continues straight on from Speaker for the Dead in time and sees Miro travelling to meet Valentine, Ender's sister, on her journey to Lusitania.
The main story involves the inhabitants of Lusitania trying to find a way to save themselves, the Piggies and the Hive Queen from Xenocide when the fleet sent by Starways Congress arrives to destroy the planet.
On top of this, the Descolada is starting to show signs of intelligence itself and may be a sentient species as well.

 Amazon.com: Xenocide (Ender Wiggins Saga (Audio)): Books: Orson Scott Card   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"Xenocide" goes even further up the difficulty scale, and should not be read unless a copy of the final novel, "Children of the Mind," is close at hand.
"Xenocide" takes the issues of religion, racism, genocide, love, family, insanity, redemption, and the nature of the universe as its subject matter; a truly amazing mix, as you might guess.
He didn't; I think he just decided to chop the novel off and publish it, then publish the second half as "Children of the Mind." My anger at the ending quickly faded when I started "Children of the Mind"; clearly, "Xenocide" was not the end of the story.
