The mining ship El Cavador, beyond Pluto, detects a fast-moving incoming object headed toward Earth. The crew decides it's probably not important, but they're wrong: it represents the opening wave of the first Formic War.
I read the series out of order. This is a prequel which has some spoilers in the main series (starting at the Ender's Game). I will say was a fantastic book, author kept me glued ....had a hard time putting the book down. ( )
I did not know what to expect when I started this. I mean, I loved Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow and liked the various sequels. But it was a co-written book and I had heard that while the plot and story line was Orson's it was the other author who did all the writing. So, I felt that the characterizations would be less than I expecte and thus the overall book would suffer.
I was wrong, it was a great start to the series and the characters became people I was interested in. While I could tell the difference in some small way I overall felt I was reading a Orson Scott Card book.
This book of course sets things up for the series but it is not overly long in doing so. It never felt drawn out or got boring. I will now move on the next one. ( )
La nave minera Cavadora se encuentra alejada de la Tierra, en las profundidades del Cinturón de Kuiper. Otras naves mineras, y las familias que viven en las mismas, están tan cerca como lejos de ella. Los sistemas de la nave minera son viejos y empiezan a fallar, y la familia se está volviendo demasiado grande para el tamaño de la nave. Tantos son los problemas, que cuando divisan un enorme objeto que se mueve a una fracción similar a la velocidad de la luz, no le dan ninguna importancia. Sin embargo, están equivocados, ya que la presencia de este extraño objeto será decisiva para el futuro de la humanidad durante los siguientes millones de años.
