I have not read anything recent from Card, but my impression of his earlier work is that Ender’s Game (originally a short story which he expanded for a novel), was a one-hit wonder. The genius that wrote ender’s short story simply missed the meeting for books 2 and 3.

But Enders Game was, imho, one of the best SF novels ever written.
