However, I was just wondering about a few things. On the wikipedia entry (probably not the best source), it has "Investment Counselor" taking place after "Ender's Game", rather than the upcoming "Ender in Exile", like you do. I'm sure you are correct, but I just wanted to double check.

I'm pretty sure OSC said Ender in Exile will take place before he meets Jane, so therefore before Investment Counselor.

Another thing I was wondering about, was the book "A Battle School Christmas" that you refer to. Is that the "War of Gifts" novella that is coming out soon?

Yes.

Do all of the short stories from "Intergalatic Medicine Show" take place before "Ender's Game"?

No, they take place all over the place.

Yes, but some books should be left alone. The movie is going to be second best, no matter what.

I don't believe in judging things prematurely. After all, many people said that about LOTR and the general consensus is that those films were adapted quite well.

The movies after the first one were horrible adaptations. They were good movies, but horrible adaptations.

The Mazer novel has been put on hold indefinitely in favor of Ender in Exile. I'm reading "War of Gifts" now, and I just bought all 6 issues of IGMS so when I finish all of them I will put up an updated timeline.

Hey I heard that the Ender's Game / Ender Shadow movie option was renewed by Warner Bros and they had OSC work on a new script. This was dated 2006. That's newer news than I was aware of, I think...

I think Ender in Exile is supposed to be first, since it's the only one with a title.

As for the movie, I've pretty much given up all hope. I remember reading about it back in like 1998 and being pumped about it, but not any more because it's been like 10 years and there still isn't even a finished script.
