Story
alaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between 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.

Story
The human race is at War with the "Buggers," an insect-like alien race. As Earth prepares to defend itself from total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable enemy, all focus is on the development of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win. The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth--they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School.

Story
One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston is the story of the First Formic War. Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn't believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame. And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Not what I expected, but thoroughly enjoyed it
Having read Ender's Game first I was expecting something similar, and while this is a continuation in the lives of Ender and Valentine, it's a different kind of story. Well written and read, another great story.

Incredibly powerful
This is one of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading (hearing).
The author addresses such incredibly delicate and powerful concepts as religion, sexuality, war, death etc. All in a way that is not pushing a particular agenda, but instead allowing the reader to experience and love each character in whatever way comes naturally. All of this is also twined deeply into a sci fi story that will leave you breathless with the scope and clarity, the realness of the human and non human characters.
I cant possibly recommend this book highly enough compared to the impact it has had on me as a reader.
The audio version is also a 10/10, the voice acting and audio quality is top tier and immerses you even deeper than when it is read alone.

Epstein didn't kill himself
Good, but not as good as Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow. A few poor narration points, but a good story and worth the listen.

great book, average performance
the voice actors felt flat and transition from actor to actor was frustrating. the story itself was amazing, bringing up interesting ideas and intriguing mystery.

Good read
Overall I enjoyed this one. It's not as good as Ender's Game, and it takes a while for the story to build but it was a good read. Narrator was excellent I thought
