The Second Formic War
The Second Formic War series takes readers deep into the heart of a universe on the brink of annihilation, where humanity's fight for survival against a terrifying alien species—the Formics—reaches a fever pitch. Set within the same universe as Orson Scott Card’s iconic Ender's Game, this thrilling series co-authored with Aaron Johnston expands the stakes in a saga that is as much about the resilience of the human spirit as it is about interstellar warfare.
In this gripping prequel to the Ender's Game universe, the Formics are back, and humanity finds itself once again facing an alien enemy that is relentless, brutal, and far more advanced than they could ever imagine. The second war is not only about military might—it’s about strategy, sacrifice, and the delicate balance between survival and becoming the very thing they fear. With humanity divided, the leaders of Earth must navigate both political intrigue and military pressure, fighting a war not just for their existence, but for the future of their species.
The Second Formic War consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
