Description

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.

  • Just another set up book with minimal action

    Pages and pages of intermonologue thinking from characters that have little importance. I've never skipped large swaths of pages in a book before until now. Still an okay book and worth a read but prepare yourself for being bored occasionally throughout.
  • Cool but bing was a little annoying.

    Didn’t feel like much happened. Feel disappointed I’ll probably have to wait a couple of years for the finale.
  • Not worth it

    They could have put this book as a couple of chapters in the third book, wasn’t worth the time and money
