Earth Unaware by Orson Scott Card
5.0
This is a fantastic book set, time-wise, before Ender's Game. It sets up the story of the first Formic War and draws directly from the Marvel comics (which are also definitely worth checking out).
Within, we learn the circumstances around humanity's first contact with the buggers in addition to details about space mining operations, corporations, free-miners, and all their different interactions. We also get a glimpse into the Mobile Operations Police (MOP), which is the highly skilled special forces group where Mazer Rackham is eventually trained.
I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of the Enderverse. I definitely will be adding the second book in the sub-series, Earth Afire, to my to-read list.
