Before Ender Wiggin was born, before the Battle School was built, the aliens brought chaos to Earth. A hundred years before Ender's Game, humans thought they were alone. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth and other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are sparse this far out. So when El Cavador's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light. But the ship has other problems. Their systems are old and failing. The family is getting big. There are claim-jumping corporates bringing piracy. Worrying about a distant object that might or might not be an alien ship seems... not important. They're wrong. It's the most important thing that has happened to the human race in a very very long time. This is humanity's first contact with an alien race. The First Formic War is about to begin. Earth Unaware is the first in The First Formic War series.. Advance Uncorrected Proof. Soft Cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book.
