Reply to comment by donjohndijon in If you ever loved Enders Game, or science fiction in general, check out some of Card's other series. by donjohndijon

I promise, read Ender's Shadow and it's worth it. You won't view Ender the same way either, but he was always a tragic figure. The Shadow series does Ender's Game better (except he figures out the final reveal, because of the genius among geniuses does), AND it features Peter and Val doing Earth politics stuff in the following books. Best Ender book, best Ender series

Battle School-trained military genius kids go home to their countries, having defeated humanity's unifying enemy... what could go wrong?!

Yes they play a sizeable role in the books I think (it's been a long time since I read the series so I could be misremembering).

Ender's Shadow is also a multiple part series that lets Orson Scott Card say everything about Islam is evil and wrong.
