Steve - if you haven't already, get yourself to a bookshop and get 
"Ender's Shadow". It's basically the same story, but told from the 
perspective of Bean - you see many of the same events, but you get 
another viewpoint of them (and because Bean is smarter than Ender, 
it's often a much clearer viewpoint - Bean works out a lot more about 
what is going on). Personally I think Shadow is the better book, but 
only because Card was a lot more experienced as a writer when he came 
to it.

The rest of the Shadow saga that follows it is good as well (I didn't 
really like the sequels to Ender's Game much - just not my thing - I 
like the sequels to Shadow).
