Game Ender (he beat the Hive Queen at the buzzer? Or, I guess that might go along with Rear Ender too... Does the Hive Queen have a buzzer? Hmmm...
Ender's High Score
Ender Shrugged
. . . Just because I couldn't resist... Ender's Same -- this could be great -- the story of Ender's Game told from the perspective of one of the other characters!!! How's that for a cool idea? Next one could be Ender's Replay... <insert sheepish apology here to OSC>
Maybe a serious one or two: Ender's Time
Ender's Frontier or Ender's Horizon
Ender's Victory (because we all know victory is bittersweet)

So maybe I'll give up and simply include this entire thread in the book as an afterword. That way I could simply leave off a whole chapter and turn in a 90,000 word manuscript. Save a couple of days.
But then I'd have to give away so many copies of the book ... but I'll just tell my mom, "Sorry, we ran out!"

Endertrek: The Next Iteration (and we already have the cover art)
Ender's Transition- where he has extensive psychotherapy sessions that never quite get him over the Xenocide trauma
I can't come up with anything good, but don't do anything "falling" Because you've already got "Earthfall" in the Homecoming series. I'd vote for the simple "Ender and Valentine" over anything cutesy. It is enough to catch the interest, but doesn't reveal much of anything about the plot.

Actually, I don't mind Ender Voyaging, although it might be too close to Alvin Journeyman, especially once you consider the thematic elements. Is Valentine Arthur Stuart or the plow? *grin*

Funny, the first thing that pops into my head after reading "Ender Adrift" is "Innocents Abroad" even though I don't think I've read the Twain book.

That reminds me: If you're still reading, Mr. Card, I just wanted to say that I tried to send you a 'thank you' email (via Mrs. Card's email address) for the signed copy of SotG which you sent me, and the mention in the acknowledgments. However, I got back some automated hotmail message about delivery of my email being delayed or something So in case it never got through, I just wanted to say thanks. It really makes up for you not coming to Canada
Oh, I'm Jason, by the way.

This reminds me too much of all those cards in the old Star Wars TCG where you could recover a card you'd lost earlier in the game... they all had pictures of the said characters backs...
Luke's Back, Han's Back, Leia's Back, Obi Wan's Back... it went on and on..

Oooh! I like Ender's Gate. That's pretty good.
Ender's Peace -- oops, that's been suggested already. Sorry. I do like it though.
Ender's Mirror It's like Ender's Shadow except in this one he spends a lot of time reflecting, neh? (okay, that's too silly)
Ender's Run I like this because in the original there's a sense of "End Game" and now you can play off of "End Run". Plus he's, um..., running.
More silliness:
To Your Scattered Enders Go!
Ender's Lender Hey, someone had to finance all that travel.
Pretender Ender Cuz he's pretending he's someone else and because this is before he becomes tender. . . .
Now, if OSC wanted to pull a late-life Azimov (not now, but MUCH later) he could knit the Homecoming, Alvin Maker and Ender series together. That could be called simply MEnder. Or Battle School Homecoming at Hatrack River. . . . Scottneb -- you should just pretend you got the joke without help. Others are just puzzled.

I like Ender's Peace, which at least a couple of people have suggested. It makes a nice counterpoint to Ender's War, the title of the book club edition that combined Ender's Game and [/i]Speaker for the Dead.[/i]

Maybe you;ll have to make up another word, like Xenocide. Instead of Ender Abroad, it could be Ender Aplanet.

Enderito- In which Ender takes on a failing snack food company and revitalizes it for interstellar travel, including an all new beverage line that has:
Enderade- A power drink for when you need to perform complex space navigation calculations.
Endersure- For the senior in Space. AJ

if the title were to be sort of chess-themed like Ender's Game, it'd be really neat to incorporate something like "En Passant" in the title. It literally means "in passing"
in chess, it is a move made whereby one pawn1 captures pawn2 by pawn1 moving diagonnally behind pawn2 immediately after pawn2 makes an opening move covering 2 squares. a picture is worth a thousand words if you don't know the move: http://www.avlerchess.com/learn-specialmoves.html
but "in passing" could both allude to the fact that we're picking up the story midway through. It could also hint at how the foe is ultimately dealth with.
and the fact that both pieces are pawns might be symbolic of something.
"Ender Passant" - would be "Ender Passing"... which I don't like.
Ender En Passant - maybe Speaker En Passant - better but doesn't say ender
What other words coule be used to describe Ender: Hero En Passant Savior En Passant Children En Passant
something to think about
=============== on a different tack: could play off of Achille's name
Ender's Achille's Heel
or not.
================
Wiggin vs. Flanders... sounds too much like the simpsons. "Hididdely ho neighboreeni" ================
I like "en passant" and think it'd be neat to use (as a second choic to Ender: the Dragon)
posted
Ender's Run (though sounds perhaps too much like Logan's Run) Ender's Zone (might sound too cheesy-sci-fi-ish) Ender's Play
<Was trying to think of phrases beginning with "end," similar to Ender's Game being based on "end game.">
