Publisher Description
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

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.
