I'm also a fan of the Ender's Game series as well, and I agree the sequels aren't in the fantasy realm, although they are starkly different that the first. The first one is pretty well pure military/dystopian sci-fi where the sequels deal much less with the military and much more with religion, politics, sociology and philosophy.
For those that don't know, Ender's Game started out as a prologue to Speaker for the Dead, but Card got pretty carried away writing and realized it was enough material for it's own book.
