Booktalk:
Can Earth ever be safe from the "Buggers"? The First Invasion nearly wiped out humanity, and the International Fleet has been playing catch up to the alien Formics ever since. Humans have adapted means of fighting them, but they need smart minds to lead and fight. Selective breeding across the world brings young geniuses to the IF Battle School to learn how to defeat the Buggers.
