DESCRIPTION:
Mazer Rackham and his Mobile Operations Police comrades pull off a high-risk mission to stop the mass slaughter in China. But has he been set up by Lem Jukes, the conniving son of a mining-company president who’s feeling mistreated by his powerful father? With a nice balance of violence and political machination, the novel will definitely please readers of the first two books in the series—a series that, it should be pointed out, isn’t merely a spin-off of Ender’s Game and its numerous sequels. Meanwhile, in space, Victor Delgado, who risked his young life in the first novel in the series (Earth Unaware, 2012) to warn Earth of the impending invasion, is risking it again, this time by infiltrating a Formic vessel and trying to find a way to neutralize the alien creatures.

One of the main characters in this trilogy is an 8-year old boy who . Great ending to the Trilogy I found myself emotionally attached to the main cast while rooting for them to succeed and survive. The character development was instrumental in allowing me to feel vested in their success. Halfway through the book I found myself disappointed to realize that the trilogy of this adventure was going to end soon, however the storytelling was so compelling for me that I still read at a brisk pace. The culminati. "The plot is better than most Orson Scott Card books in many respects" according to Mark Huth. The plot is better than most Orson Scott Card books in many respects. Less meandering. However, the science throughout the series is ridiculous. Gamma rays are photons, not plasma, and "high speed" docking between two craft moving at the same speed are no more dangerous than "low speed". In this case, I guess the speed is relative to the solar system. So the authors seem to have missed the whole idea of rela
