Ok, so the books in this series are getting better. They’re not quite there yet, but I do see good improvement. With that in mind, let’s get to the chase:
It’s a (semi) hard science fiction book. That said, much disbelief is to be suspended as many fantastic things happen. This is the case here. Also, some of the problems with physics that were seen in the first book in the series have not been repeated. Outstanding! So, on to the fun parts:
a) The bad guys (buggers in “Ender’s Game”) go there merry way and trash everyone in their path. Then they get really ugly & attack China. Meanwhile, the good guys either end up in China on assignment beforehand, or bully their way in after things start to get ugly as the shooting begins. Needless to say, the Chinese take a really bad set of hits & the good guys strive to help them, but are pretty much overwhelmed. Don’t be worried, the usual political & bureaucratic claptrap gets in the way (just like it does in the real world) and is just plain fun to read about.

Earth Afire audiobook Series The Enderverse
Interesting question that I hadn’t though about, “How is the story narrated”. I think it was mostly second person, “Victor did this…”, “Lem did that…” didn’t really pay attention, sorry.
Yes, really there was a lot of violence in the book I guess, but given the theme (Earth gets toasted by aliens) what would you expect. It was definitely not gratuitous violence and was handled well.
Great series, interesting plot twists, a few huge technical flaws that are pretty glaring (if you are a physicist or a rocket scientist and are obsessive compulsive about technical details you may want to skip it, drifting up to the alien ship in a cloud of debris while in orbit? Not sure I buy that but it makes for a good story), A lot of the routine technical stuff is detailed in creative ways that I found interesting and probably somewhat prophetic (which I like about SciFi). I really, really liked the character development (again not perfect but creatively done and very interesting). The political, cultural and human commentary I found extremely interesting (which I like about SciFi). Card is really interesting about the human factor and human interaction.
Very interesting story. Good series. I would definitely recommend reading these in order (I didn’t and so read the third book again which I thought was the best of the three books).
I started reading these because one of my kids was reading Ender’s Game and recommended it to me. He told me that I would really like it and I did. The book (Ender’s Game) was much better than the movie, they had to leave way too much out of the movie robbing it of the character development which was unfortunate.
Yes, some of the stuff in his book is a stretch but so what, its fiction remember? The stories and character development and situations are really interesting. One of my favorite authors.

Audiobook Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card
Like the latter half of the first instalment of the new series, this second book races past and the action doesn’t let up until the end. While the first book was about how easy it would be to mistake the intentions of any approaching alien race – in this second part we are in no doubt that the formics are hostile and deadly to the human race.
The series has made the most of the new characters and we find out how they all play a part and they are fleshed out well in this continuation. Probably not the best place to start, but it is now all about the way we as a a species or society, deal with the threat. It’s clear that most institutions would be paralised and useless – weighed down with bureacracy and red tape, to prevent any resistence. It’s only those working outside of any constraints that can actually mobilise to do anything.
Of course, as the plot moves on, we realise that we are with the only groups of people who can make a difference and this is in no way a big spoiler, as it’s pretty clear from the start that these are no ordinary people and some, like Mazer Rackham, have their stories pre-determined from events in the “Ender’s Game” series. This is a very enjoyable series and while this one may have less philsophical depth, it moves us into the world of all-out war, where this is no room for doubt of hesitation – it’s them or us – and no room for communication or scientific method.
In a way this is quite a sad outcome – but the writers are quite convincing in their portayal of the inevitability of the idea that any contact with an alien species, will be about a battle for resources and that we will be at war, rather than sitting down to talk and swap ideas. Personally, I would like to hope that humanity could be more rational and conciliatory – but our history tends to show this is unlikely. Also, these ideas are explored further in the later books of the “Ender” series and maybe we do have to grow further as a society before we are ready for a different outcome?

Audio Earth Afire narrated by Cris Dukehart
Bought the first part of this as a cheap, time filling read and based on seeing Enders Game as a prequel to that movie.
I haven’t read sci fi for years but enjoyed the setting, build up and secondary stories; Yet another book had me ordering the sequel from here – why are these so ‘can’t put down? I actually looked forward to commuting so I could get my daily fix of Vico and the Formics!
As with another series of book I’ve reviewed here, the downside is now I have to wait for the next published book some months from now.

Another amazing book from Orson and Aaron. I first read Ender’s Game about 10 years ago and instantly fell in love. I didn’t know there were sequels but I now am on a mission to read the whole Ender Saga. I love reading the prequels, Mazer Rackham is a wonderful character and I find the Earth books great because we can relate to them more closely! Due to them being set a closer time to ourselves. I’m excited for the last prequel that will finish Mazer’s story and give light as to why everybody talks about him in Battle School.
