China has been devastated by the Formic's initial efforts to eradicate Earth life forms and prepare the ground for their own settlement. The Scouring of China struck fear into the other nations of the planet; that fear blossomed into drastic action when scientists determined that the single ship that wreaked such damage was merely a scout ship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a mothership out beyond the Solar System's Kuiper Belt, and it's heading into the system, unstoppable by any weapons that Earth can muster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEarth has been reorganized for defense. There is now a Hegemon, a planetary official responsible for keeping all the formerly warring nations in line. There's a Polemarch, responsible for organizing all the military forces of the planet into the new International Fleet. But there is an enemy within, an enemy as old as human warfare: ambition and politics. Greed and self-interest. Will Bingwen, Mazer Rackam, Victor Delgado and Lem Juke be able to divert those very human enemies in time to create a weapon that can effectively defend humanity in the inexorable Second Formic War? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTHE ENDER UNIVERSE \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ender series\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEnder's Game \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eSpeaker for the Dead \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eXenocide \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Mind \u003c\/i\u003e\/\u003ci\u003e Ender in Exile \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Fleet\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ender's Shadow series\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEnder's Shadow \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Hegemon \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow Puppets \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Giant \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eShadows in Flight\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The First Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEarth Unaware \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eEarth Afire \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eEarth Awakens\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Second Formic War (with Aaron Johnston)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Swarm \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eThe Hive\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ender novellas\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA War of Gifts \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eFirst Meetings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eORSON SCOTT CARD is the author of the international bestsellers \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Giant\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShadow Puppets\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShadow of the Hegemon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEnder's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, and of the beloved classic of science fiction, \u003ci\u003eEnder's Game\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the acclaimed fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker.
