Synopsis:

One hundred�years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. This is the story of the First Formic War.

Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely.�Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat.�They didn�t believe that 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 move fast enough to meet the threat.

Fans of Ender's Game will thrill to Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston's Earth Afire.

This book was just as compelling as the first two books. My biggest problem with it was I had originally thought that this was going to be a trilogy and it obviously will have more books to come in the series. So if you were like me and expecting to finish the story by the end of this book, realize that there is still more good to come.
