In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Gripping story, masterfully written and performed

Once I started listening I couldn't stop. I burned through it in 1 day. Warship is a great beginning to the trilogy. The book has just the right balance of action, intrigue and character development. I just wish it were longer. I can't wait for the next in the series.

Drake spends the first half of the book developing the hero & heroine characters. I started to skip to another series, but I'm really glad I stuck with it. Once the shooting starts, it's non-stop. Looks like I'm spending the next couple of months on another multi-book series!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 4,800
Nearly 100 years before the events of Orson Scott Card's bestselling novel Ender's Game, humans were just beginning to step off Earth and out into the Solar System. A thin web of ships in both asteroid belts; a few stations; a corporate settlement on Luna. No one had seen any sign of other space-faring races; everyone expected that First Contact, if it came, would happen in the future, in the empty reaches between the stars. Then a young navigator on a distant mining ship saw something moving too fast, heading directly for our sun.

This Prequel is Better Than the Ender Trilogy
Revisado: 06-26-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book is paced perfectly and the performance is the best I've experienced on Audible.
What other book might you compare Earth Awakens to and why?
Ender's Game and the entire Ender Trilogy. Orson Scott Card is a masterful writer who blends character development and action in just the right proportion.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The performers of "Earth Awakens" turn the novel into a very real theater of the mind.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to listen to it all in a single sitting, but it took three days for me to find the time.
Any additional comments?
This (and all books in the Ender's series) is the best Audible has to offer.
