I've always enjoyed OSC as a sci-fi writer, but I'm really beginning to respect his political writings also.

LOL! I got sick of him in the last book in his "Ender's Game" series, when Ender sat around and cried all the time. It was probably a mistake, but I just kinda lost interest in Card's books after that.

I agree with you that the sequels to Ender's Game gradually go downhill. I'd recommend the first of a parellel series, "Ender's Shadow," which is quite good. I don't know where this other sequence is going, but the first novel in it is excellent.

And I strongly recommend his SF-fantasy novel, "Wyrms." Very powerful. I think I like it even more than "Ender's Game."

I also recommend "Seventh Son," although there again I think maybe the sequence goes downhill after the second or third novel in the alternate America series.

I quit that series after Xenocide. But I liked the Homecoming books (well, the first 4). OSC does tend not to know how to cleanly end a series and they tend to fall apart after 3 - 4 books.

I didn't much care for ones after Enders Game about Ender either, but Enders Game itself, and the trilogy about Bean, were excellent.
