I consider Ender's Game to be one of the best sci-fi books ever written. The follow-ons, Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide... not so much. I haven't read the books about Peter and the Ender's Battle School compatriots, but I may do so now. I just finished reading Ender in Exile. Not so much a sequel as a fill-in for what happened between the time Ender won his battle and the time he found the Hive Queen. It's an odd sort of book in that it just ends, There's no discernible climax. It's just a few hundred pages of Ender as the main character in a story where I already new the beginning and the end. Apparently that's enough when the character in question is Andrew Wiggin. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, but it's really more like unearthing some lost sections of the end of the first book than reading something new. If you loved Ender's Game, you'll enjoy this. If not... you have bigger problems.
