One of my very favorite writers. I'm eagerly awaiting the 3rd Bean shadow book. Also with the success of The Fellowship of the Ring maybe the movie version of Ender's Game will finally get made.

Card is really good. I didnt really like his philosophical Ender books. Xenocide and them were alittle too much for me. But Enderīs Game, Enderīs Shadow and the other Bean books are truly great.

I can't believe I've missed a book! You mean there is already a follow up to Ender's Shadow??? Balls.

Waterstones for me on Saturday!

Great books all round. Ender's game / Ender's Shadow. Just great stuff.

Homecoming was in part a little too weird for words, but well worth the read.

Viking: Yup, Shadow of the Hegemon came out bout a year and a half ago. It deals with Bean, Petra and the other cadets after Ender leaves and they return to earth.

Have any of you read Wyrms? It's premise is similar to the Homecoming books (and the Worthing Saga) in that it deals with a 'lost' colony with lowered technology level. Seems to be an idea Card likes.
