This box set includes the First Formic War Trilogy by bestselling
authors Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston: Earth Unaware, Earth
Afire, Earth Awakens
One hundred years before Ender Wiggin decisively defeated the alien
formics in Ender's Game. A pulse-pounding tale of first contact gone
horribly wrong. Before Ender Wiggin was born, before the Battle School
was built, the aliens brought war to Earth
Earth Unaware -- When mining ship El Cavador'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. But the ship has other problems. Their systems are old and
failing. Worrying about a distant object that might or might not be an
alien ship seems...not important.
Earth Afire -- Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but
not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a
threat. That is, until space stations and ships and colonies went up in
sudden flame. And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile
Operations Police could organize in time to meet the threat.
Earth Awakens -- Politics slowed the response on Earth, and on
Luna, corporate power struggles seemed more urgent than distant deaths.
It's up to Mazer Rackham's squad in China, who have developed a method
to destroy the alien landers one by one; and Lem Jukes and his crew on
the Moon, who may have the key to destroying the Formic mother ship in
orbit.
