Earth Afire by Aaron Johnston and Orson Scott Card explores a pivotal moment in the future of humanity, hanging by a thread.

One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens descended upon Earth with fiery destruction. This novel tells the story of the First Formic War.

Victor Delgado managed to reach Earth before the alien vessel, but not in time to persuade the sceptical governments of the impending threat. They only believed when space stations, ships, and colonies were suddenly consumed by flames.

In the ensuing chaos, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police were able to respond swiftly enough to confront the danger.

Earth Afire follows Earth Unaware as the thrilling second instalment in the Formic War series.
