One hundred years before Ender Wiggin was born, humanity faced its first true existential threat. The alien Formics have arrived in the Solar System, and they bring only fire and death. Victor Delgado, a young miner from the deep reaches of space, managed to beat the alien vessel to Earth to deliver a desperate warning. But skeptical governments and bureaucratic leaders refused to listen, dismissing the threat until it was far too late. Now, space stations are burning, colonies are being wiped out, and the alien ship is descending upon Earth itself. As the devastating invasion begins, traditional military forces are caught completely off guard. The only people capable of moving fast enough to counter the ruthless alien tactics are Mazer Rackham and his elite Mobile Operations Police. In a desperate scramble for survival, humanity must unite and fight back against an enemy they do not understand. The First Formic War has reached Earth, and the death toll is rising.

A century before the legendary Battle School was built, humanity believed they were completely alone in the universe. People were slowly expanding outward from Earth, mining asteroids and establishing distant colonies in the deep reaches of the Solar System. Far out in the Kuiper Belt, the crew of the mining ship El Cavador is struggling with failing equipment, corporate claim-jumpers, and the challenges of deep-space survival. So when their sensors detect a massive, fast-moving object hurtling into the system at a fraction of the speed of light, it is easy to dismiss it as just another space anomaly. But they are dead wrong. This approaching vessel is not a comet or an asteroid; it is an alien ship, and it is heavily armed. As the terrifying reality of first contact sets in, the isolated crew of El Cavador must figure out how to warn a skeptical Earth. The First Formic War is about to begin, and humanity is completely unprepared.

The alien invasion of Earth has begun, and it seems entirely unstoppable. Before Ender Wiggin was even born, humanity faced its first terrifying encounter with the Formics. Now, the planet is reeling from the devastating attacks, and the survival of the human race hangs by the thinnest of threads. As the massive alien ship looms, a desperate coalition of corporate forces, international militaries, and brilliant individuals must band together to fight back. You are thrown directly into the chaotic, high-stakes origins of the First Formic War. Follow a diverse cast of characters, from brilliant tacticians to courageous soldiers, as they navigate a shattered world, pushing the limits of human ingenuity and resilience. They must dismiss their fears, overcome political divides, and forge a unified front against an enemy that seeks to eradicate all human life. Experience the pulse-pounding prequel that sets the stage for the legendary Battle School and the ultimate fight for Earth's future.

The first alien invasion of Earth was barely beaten back, leaving humanity scarred and terrified. China has been devastated by the Formics' brutal initial attack, and the horrifying truth has just been uncovered: the ship that wreaked such unimaginable destruction was merely a scout. A massive mothership is currently lurking beyond the Kuiper Belt, hurtling toward the solar system with weapons Earth cannot possibly match. In a desperate bid for survival, the planet is reorganized under a new Hegemon and a unified International Fleet. But the greatest threat to humanity might not be the aliens at all. As brilliant minds like Mazer Rackham, Victor Delgado, and Bingwen race to develop a defense, they are sabotaged by an enemy as old as human history, political ambition, greed, and ruthless self-interest. Plunge into a high-stakes, pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller where the fate of the human race depends on overcoming our own darkest flaws before the swarm arrives.

Years after the devastating Bugger War, Ender Wiggin has disappeared into legend. In his place, a powerful new voice has emerged: the Speaker for the Dead, who dares to tell the unfiltered truth about the conflict. Now, humanity has discovered a second alien race. But just like before, these new beings are strange, frightening, and deadly. As tensions rise and humans begin to die, the fragile peace of the galaxy is threatened. There is only one person with the courage to confront this terrifying mystery. The Speaker for the Dead, who is secretly Ender Wiggin himself, must step out of the shadows. To prevent another catastrophic war, he has to face his own haunting past and uncover the profound truth about humanity's strange new brothers. Dive into a gripping, philosophical science fiction masterpiece that challenges everything you think you know about heroes, monsters, and the heavy price of survival.
