This is a science-fiction trilogy prequel to the novel Ender's Game, which I read many years ago, along with its sequels. It is not necessary to read any of the others to understand these books, however. (If you are interested in reading that series, I have the list in order on the post about Shadows in Flight).
This series stands alone as a story of a futuristic universe in which Earth is invaded by killer aliens.
Yes, that sounds campy, but it's actually a very good set of books, and it's quite serious. (In fact, I felt like the war stuff was a bit too realistically detailed sometimes.) The characters are good, and I do feel like the co-writer has stayed true to the original style.
Apparently there is another trilogy after this, still partially in the works, so I'll plan to read that as well.
I also read by this writing team: Invasive Procedures
