Earth Afire: The First Formic War, Book 2

by Orson Scott Card, Aaron Johnston Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki, Stephen Hoye, Arthur Morey, Vikas Adam, Gabrielle de Cuir, Various Narrators

Overview

One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston 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.

Editorial Reviews

SEPTEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

In this second book of the Formic Wars trilogy (taking place 100 years before the time of ENDER’S GAME) a warlike, technically advanced alien race has been sighted in the solar system, headed straight for Earth. The gifted Stefan Rudnicki leads a team of talented narrators who do an excellent job of keeping vivid and focused the two-dozen or so characters and multiple locations (a mining ship in the outer Kuiper asteroid belt, the moon, and South China). Orson Scott Card remains a master storyteller, and each narrator is right there with him as he mixes hard science and psychological insights—right up to the cliff-hanger ending. Can’t wait for the final installment, EARTH AWAKENS—due out in 2014. B.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
