Re: enders game
just finished the book this morning, and i throughly love it. i cant wait to read the rest.
and i just thought i'd mention, there's one more book i noticed besides the one mentioned here: first meetings in enders universe.
i havent read it yet, but as far as i can tell its four novellas in one book. each one pre-enders game, and leading up to the original enders game novella.
The tittles are: The Polish Boy, Teacher's Pest, Investment Counselor, and Ender's Game.
The Polish Boy is John Paul Wiggin, the future father of Ender. In the years between the first two Bugger Wars, the Hegemony is desperate to recruit brilliant military commanders to repel the alien invasion. They may have found their man--or boy--in John Paul Wiggin.
In Teacher's Pest-a novella written especially for this collection --a brilliant but arrogant John Paul Wiggin, now a university student, matches wits with an equally brilliant graduate student.
The Investment Counselor is set after the end of the Bugger Wars. Banished from Earth and slandered as a mass murderer, twenty-year-old Ender Wiggin wanders incognito from planet to planet as a fugitive--until a blackmailing tax inspector compromises his identity and threatens to expose Ender the Xeoncide.
Also reprinted here is the original award-winning novella, Ender's Game, which first appeared in 1977.
as I said i havent read it yet, but as i do with all of the other ender, and bean books, i look forward to it. ^.^

Re: enders game
The great thing about this author, especially when you get into the bean series... is his excellent illustration of the differences between how people look at themselves, how they try to be perceived, and what they are actually perceived as - since a great deal of the time, his characters are operating on several different levels of 'out foxing the fox'.
That didn't make any sense <_< (/me sleepy)

Re: enders game
It made sense, and I agree. This is definetely one of the best authors ive ever read.
Though dont take that to seriously, before last month i hadn't read a non-required-for-school book in more then a decade.

It's true though, he is one of the best authors I've read, and Ender's Game is the best book.
Interesting Fact: Ender's Game was originally just a Novella. It wasn't until Card decided to write Speaker for the Dead did Ender evolve enough as a Character to actually become a novel. Also, Card realized that the introduction to Speaker would be way too long, another reason why he wrote Ender's Game, he just threw the intro into there basically .

Re: enders game
actually, the novella was an account for enders events in battle school alone. in the novel, card added val and peters little adventures, as well as other events and charecters that wasnt in or big in the novella.
or at least, thats what ive read. i havent gotten my hands on the novella myself...yet.

Re: enders game
I'm suprised no one has mentioned Card's plans to merge the Ender series and the Bean series in his final book. I think it's to be called Flight of the Shadows.

Oh dear... but aside from that one title, they are truly classics of modern Sci-Fi.
(And classic in general fiction as well imho).
Have to agree there, although I have yet to read the last of the 4. And someone else's opinion on the matter of Xenocide
