Recently got some John Ringo books at a yard sale and was wanting some ideas for other Military Sci Fi book series.

I’ve read Ender’s game and have the second but haven’t read it yet. I enjoy Card’s work
There are two branches off that book - one follows Ender and turns into some wierd drama that is largely irrelevant to the original story and about as bad as the dune sequels, and the other follows Bean and is actually pretty interesting.
Remember what the ones about Bean are called?
The first one is Ender's Shadow, and is actually a great companion to the original book.
The rest of them are titled shadows of ____ iirc. Apparently there are 18 books in the enders game universe now, and a new one in the bean series that I haven't read.
Looked it up, and it's shadows of the hegemon, shadow puppets, shadow of the giant and shadows in flight.
Knowing what we know about the internet and reddit/4Chan , card's predictions of geniuses using the internet forums to manufacture consensus and gather supporters then become galactic politicians by arguing with their own sock puppet is so cringe in hindsight. Not that he's wrong about the astroturfing, but how effective it is to pursuade people by arguing on the internet.
