About this ebook
New York Times bestselling authors Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston return to the prequels to Ender's Game following The Swarm with The Hive, book two in the Second Formic War.
Card and Johnston continue the fast-paced hard science fiction history of the Formic Wars—the alien invasions of Earth’s Solar System that ultimately led to Ender Wiggin’s total victory in Ender's Game.
A coalition of Earth’s nations barely fought off the Formics’ first scout ship. Now it’s clear that there’s a mother-ship out on edge of the system, and the aliens are prepared to take Earth by force. Can Earth’s warring nations and corporations put aside their differences and mount an effective defense?
Ender's Game is one of the most popular and bestselling science fiction novels of all time. The Formic War series (The First Formic War and The Second Formic War) are the prequels to Ender’s story.

If you expect any development of the second formic war, hold your horses. There is about 50 pages of it. The remaining 400 is ballast not worth reading. Just avoid this book, anythibg relevant for the final book can be summarized in 2 paragraphs.

Had been looking forward to the next installment in the seiries for a long time. Previous foemic war stories set too high a bar for this middling tale that brings too little to the overall story. This could have been a couple of chapters in a book, not a standalone story.

Another stunning addition to ender universe. I simply could not put it down. The only regret I have is that I now have to wait for the next volume. Definitely a book that will keep you entranced. I love how seamlessly the story flows and the universe is truly brought to life through the words on the page. Can't wait for the next one and hopefully more.
