Several people have suggested Ender's Passing, and in theory it's good, but it brings to mind several unpleasant bodily functions to me, and that's probably not the goal.

I realize I'm coming into this thread late so because of that I'm probably not going to be of any help anyway but I’ll give it a shot.

Now, about a suggestion sorta by Dagonee and sorta by me (alright, mostly Dagonee): "Ender." Although I stand by the fact I love this title, take a look at the Finnish cover of Ender's Game. We need to be nice to our friend's in Finland, and this might confuse them a bit.

I know that its supposed to have the word "Ender" in it but what if instead of Ender the title was just "Andrew" This would be the book that would explain his transition from Ender to Andrew so I think it would be a fitting title. If someone already said this I apologize. Its hard to read every suggestion.

Hey, Mr. Card, I have a good idea. How about you write a few short stories about small events in battleschool? For instance, you could write a short story through the eyes of Dink Meeker when he was scouting Ender as a Salamander. The thing is I want to see how Ender reacts to situations that most us go through in our daily lives, like school classes or something.

Come on. He's promised no less than three more ender books, and you're asking for more? You people are insatiable.

Yeah, I say "Ender" also, sorry all you Finnish fans! And Dagonee, I really ought to give you full credit for the idea, but I'm too evil to be that unselfish.
hmm... I think the Valentine story that some folks have commented on as enigmatic would be nice to flesh out. There are a lot of suggestions using the possesive "Ender's X". Flipping the possessive and the possible POV of the story, "Valentine's Ender" (or some variant) might be a nice way to learn about Val and more about Ender through her eyes. (intriguing)
for the casual-shopper-flash, akin to "Xenocide", maybe
Ender's Exodus
(though the fact he's already visited one colony according to OSC's first post, maybe this would be ridiculous)

Regarding "Children of the Shadow": I feel like that's a bit of a mouthful. "Children of the Mind" worked because, first of all, it's a phrase we were familiar with from previous books, and second, "the mind" is a common phrase whereas "the shadow" isn't. Perhaps a better version would be "Shadow Children"?
Either way, I do like this concept better than "Shadows in Flight."
Regarding the Ender book... hmmm... well, out of the ones listed so far, my favorites are "Ender," "Ender's Gate," "Ender's Exile," and "Ender Adrift." But in the spirit of things, here's some more silliness- who knows, maybe OSC will decide to write this as the first Ender Comedy.
<edit>Okay, upon reading OSC's post above, I BEG you to title it "The Endercrine Gland." The biology nerd within me will have it no other way. </edit>
B-ender (Ender is cybernetically enhanced into a beer-swilling, chain-smoking, lazy robot) Shadow of Ender's Shadow Ender's Figgin (with apologies to Terry Pratchett) Wherein Ender the Xenocide Encounters the Son of a Former Comrade Our Mrs. Ender (with apologies to Joss Whedon) Ender Versus the Pink Robots
and after reading SotG I couldn't help but wonder about the woman and "her" child. I wondered if Volescu might still succeed with his plan to infect humanity with those genes. So in light of that: Ender's Plague

So far I like Ender Ender's Awakening Ender's Exodus Ender's Descent (was that mentioned? so many of these things...) Ender's Fall Ender's Rebirth Ender's Redemption
Not so much the ones like Ender's Journey (the whole Ender series is that), Ender's Evolution (too obvious unless there's also an evolutionary plot in the story), Ender's Emergence (since Ender isn't emerging, Andrew is), etc.
I like Ender's Worlds better than Ender's World because it implies more going on than just a visit to a single planet, but it also sounds more like an anthology book than a novel. Of course, it could be an anthology book of Ender stories written by, oh, I don't know, Hatrackers? Yes? Yes?
Some more suggestions: Ender's Vision Ender's Atonement Ender's Penance Ender's Design Ender's Pattern The Judgment of Ender
Plot question - was Ender ever tried in absentia for xenocide? How would he react when he found out?
Ah! I've got it! A new Ender book and OSC's dream of writing a romantic comedy: Ender! The Musical!

As in, if someone wins and goes for the "USS ****o Bazoo" will it be that way forevermore? Not that I'll be doing so, it's already past my meager means. Just curious since the eBay description offered no such restrictions and I thought you might want to spell that out for the benefit of potential bidders before it's over. C. A. Bridges

Yup. I was concerned that the casino that's been buying up oddball eBay stuff would decide to use this as cheap advertising, or that it would go towards unsuitable language, political slander, etc.
Back to the titles!

Since OSC is so fond of Andrew Lloyd Weber, I think he should do a musical named The Ender of the Opera and he could have a play within the play called Ender Triumphant and cast me as the giant.
Of course, the real name for the Ender musical would have to be Ender's Play
You know, Endercrine Gland is really a good one given the teen years, etc. A follow-up could be the Enderogenous Zone, in which Ender discovers that everyone's gate is down.

I could totally see Ender's Gate. Alliteration and assonance, both, with Ender's Game, and of course it echoes the most famous quote from the first book. Gate = passageway, so it makes the connection that you wanted. All in all, it's a superb suggestion.
Barring that, I'd vote for just plain Ender.

Hey, good job Dagonee (and me )! That's three votes so far for "Ender", and four if you include the one I assume you'll place if it continues to do so well!
Wait...are we even voting?
edit: Alright, from now on, every time "Ender" is mentioned as a title, I'm going to count to ten and surpress my selfish urge to take credit for something I don't deserve credit for.

You know, 'cause of Bean's bro, and he could have memories of the giant in the fantasy game?
...
Okay, clearly I have nothing. I haven't posted in a while, though. It feels good to be back (not that I was here for all that long anyway...)!
