Yes, and they are fucking tits. Enders Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon are all about Bean (the little guy who joins his team really late) and how much of a fucking genius he is. Enders Shadow is all about Beans (way better character than Ender imo) experience and getting to Battle school, and it basically outlines all the crazy shit that was going on with him there that you only saw glimpses of in Enders Game. Shadow of the Hegemon is about him and the other battle schol kids going back to Earth after the Bugger war is over and all the crazy politics and wars that happen after. Speaker for the Dead happens 3,000 years after the events of Enders game and Ender is still alive thanks to the theory of relativity, and it is about the first intelligent life they find after he massacred all the Buggers.
The latter took me a bit to get into at first because of the 3,000 year thing, but I was willing to succumb to suspension of disbelief and really, really enjoy the book. There are a couple other books too but I stopped after Speaker.
