It's insanely difficult to try and describe this to friends who haven't read it....

"Okay it's like a prequel...but it's the second prequel, so the sequel to the prequel.....and it's the third book in that series..."

"Don't watch the movie"

"Yes the main series is the like the major thing, but then there's the first formic wars....and then a second.....and yes there's a 'small bean turned large bean' story that's it's OWN thing that's just as amazing as the original from a different perspective....no they're not published in chronological order, have you seen star wars at all??!? .....I'm losing you aren't I?....."

"Did I mention speaker for the dead and the books after? I hope you know Portuguese"
