If you look at the "Graphic Novels" that are being sold, you will see a bit of a trend. The Graphic Novels are actually compendiums of comic books! These were (I'm speculating here) most likely plotted out by Orson Scott Card (OSC) and then completed by other contributors. These comic books have then provided a storyboard for the books that we are seeing on this topic. So, the story is already out there & the authors & publisher saw a way to re-monetize the story!Second is the fact that it's now not purely an OSC production, but a collaboration of OSC, the comic book contributors, and the second name on the books. Therefore, the sequence is being released as the authors can expand and flesh out the characters.OK. That said, what about this book? Bottom line, it is an improvement. There is some expansion of the horizons & some better character development. The military is still ineffective. The politicians are nowhere to be seen. The heroes are all over the place. And the Bugs are still spraying their version of Roundup!The problems with the book are fewer than in the previous two books. Here's my take:1) Character titles: The Chinese Captain is promoted to Major and then still referenced as a Captain.2) The Alien space ship is penetrated by Victor (who retreats). Later he seems to have a much broader knowledge of the ship than his initial adventures would explain.3) The space battle physics fails some of the basic tenants of Newtonian Mechanics. My reference here is Lem Jukes in the dogfight. You just can't maneuver in space like that. Well, you can, but it would consume a heck of a lot of fuel!I'll give the book a large grain (no a whole shaker) of salt on many of the technical topics because it is, after all a science FICTION book.Final note. This isn't a trilogy. More books are to come (reference the last chapter)! This isn't a spoiler as the setup for this is actually hidden in Ender's Game. This book doesn't get to the climax/closure explained in Ender's Game. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thoroughly enjoyed this book! *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 13, 2014* I pre-ordered this book but forgot the date it would be delivered. When it suddenly "showed up" on my Kindle app, I started in on it right away. Within a few pages, I found myself thoroughly enjoying being immersed in OSC's world where kids can be military heroes and solve complex problems in international diplomacy. The character I most enjoyed was surprisingly Lem Jukes. Of course Bingwen and Mazor are near the top of my list as are anyone they come in frequent contact with. I recommend reading this after reading the first two books in the First Formic War series: (Earth Unaware and Earth Afire). It's not important to read the Ender or Shadow series first. In fact, it might even make more sense to read the Formic Wars series first even though they came out most recently.As I look back, things developed the way I expected them to from the beginning of the First Formic War trilogy right through to the formation of the International Fleet in Earth Awakens. It's not clear to me how much OSC or Aaron Johnston wrote but it is clear OSC put his stamp on this book and it read as well any of the books in the Ender series or the Shadow series.Spoiler (sort of)...Is it a spoiler when you already know the Formics are coming back? So now I'm pretty sure there are at least 4 more OSC books in the pipeline. The Second Formic War trilogy which ends with... wait for it... Mazor Rackham taking out the queen. Then there's that final installment that should tie the Ender Series and Shadow Series together and explain what happens with that planet that released the Descolada against the inhabitants of Lusitania. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2022* I have enjoyed this series, I read Enders game a long time ago and thought this might be interesting, It was. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1350355-earth-awakens](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1350355-earth-awakens) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
