Hi there. All my copies of Ender's Game date back to printings in the eighties, before the revised edition of the book was released.
So, my question is, can someone summarize in minor detail for me what changes were made in the revised edition of the novel? I don't want to have to repurchase the book if the changes are minor, but I also would like to know specifically what storyline aspects are different.

I think the playful argument between Ender and Alai was changed so the N-word wasn't used. I think OSC wrote that somewhere on this site.

There was also another reason. In "Ender's Game" he had referred to the perfect safety record of the shuttle program. And then there was the Challenger explosion. He did not want to let that stand.
