__**Summary:**__

Victor is lovestruck with his cousin, Alejandra, a terrible thing in the minds of the free miners living far away from Earth in the Kuiper belt on the edge of society. Soon after Alejandra was asked to leave, for the good of Victor and the family, Alejandra's sister calls him to the Eye, the equivalent of a long-range observatory, with a disturbing discovery. A fast moving object, much faster than any human vessel, is hurtling through space. Even more startling is the object's changing velocity, impossible for any natural object in outer space. As Victor realizes the implications, he rushes to the family council with one thought, Aliens. Lem Jukes is the son of the founder of Jukes Unlimited, the largest mining corporation ever. However, Jukes Unlimited has begun to decline and Lem is testing revolutionary and secret technology in the Kuiper belt in hopes of turning the companies fortune around and keep the technology a company secret at the same time. The asteroid Lem was gunning for was occupied by a small free-miner family, but there were no other asteroids of note for months. The free-miners would just have to be moved, forcibly. Lem planned his attack as his ship snuck up on the free-miners. Captain Wit O'Tool, a member of the Mobile Operations Police, the most elite fighting unit in the world, was recruiting once again. The MOP's made sure that Earth was safe to live in; Captain O'Tool made sure the MOP's were ready, for anything.


 * __Review:__**

__Earth Unaware__ is a captivating read. Full of intrigue, plot twists, and anticipation, this is a great start to the prequel series of __Ender's Game__. A well thought out storyline and setup allow the reader to understand the Sci-Fi world that the characters live in. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed __Ender's Game__, and though it can be read and enjoyed, and is technically a prequel, I find that a knowledge of __Ender's Game__ enhanced the plot while creating some powerful dramatic irony. Overall, __Earth Unaware__ is a superb addition to the Ender Universe.
