Book number two of a two book military space opera series.  This book is 
part of the huge Enderverse (20+ books) created by Orson Scott Card and 
is set about 100 years before "Ender's Game".  I read the well printed 
and bound MMPB.  I am hoping for a third book in the series but am 
worried that Orson Scott Card's stroke is finally catching up with him.

If you ever wondered why Ender Wiggins committed genocide in the 
"Ender's Game" book, this is the reason why.  When the Formics found 
Earth and the Solar System in the 24th century, they laid waste to 
everything the humans built across the Solar System.  They killed 
billions of humans and tried to Terraform the Earth to meet their needs. 
  The humans initial response was futile at best and slowly got better 
over decades of time.
