Earth Unaware (one of the prequels to Enders Game)
« on: August 04, 2012, 12:35:28 PM »
... was SUCH a good book. Supposedly there's a set of 3 prequels to Enders Game (Earth Unaware is the first of these). I already can't wait to read the next two.  Can't wait for the movie!

"Ender's Game" and "Ender's shadow" were the best of the series IMHO.  I'll have to read the prequels. I just hope they don't kill the movies like what happened to starship troopers.


*edit. Some other military sci-fi authors i enjoyed are John Steakley "Armor", David Drake the "Hammer's Slammers" series , William Dietz "Bodyguard" and "Where the Ships Die", and David Weber the "Honor Harrington" series (the first several books at least, it gets a little long in the tooth.)

those aren't all the books i read but the ones i remember really enjoying. :aok

He's a lover, not a fighter... but he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRaTekm9Ak8  http://one_foggy.tripod.com/sounds/afu_jokeson.wav

Man, I had not thought of Ender's Game in years... I might have to pick those up.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

I agree kot... the others didn't even seem like they were in the same series.

I enjoyed Earth Unaware very much. I only wish I didn't hear about it until after all three were published. I hate the wait.

Had no idea they wrote prequels.  I liked Ender's game a lot and the sequels weren't horrible.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
