It also won the Hugo. I really loved Ender's Game when i read it back in the 1980s. He also has a great selection of short stories floating around.
But OSC kept going back to the well of Ender's Game. He started writing the same book from different points of views of other characters in the stories. This got tiresome as I wanted new stories and he kept rewriting this one. I did like his Alvin Maker series as well, at least the first three books in the seven book cycle. But there was a big break and I lost track of the series. I also started reading OSC's political takes on his website and I grew very disinterested in what he had to say.
