Wrong, there's 8. Besides the regular Ender quartet, there's also the Shadow quartet which starts with Ender's Shadow.

The series is like the Ender series in that the first book is pretty different from the other three. Ender's Shadow pretty much retells Ender's Game in the POV of Bean (with some more stuff, too; its not limited to just what was in Ender's Game). After that are: Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant. Those take place in the years following Ender's Game/Shadow and focus on an earthside war. I found these to be less interesting and memorable than the Ender quartet and Ender's Shadow, but...

There's also another book planned that will bridge the Ender and Shadow series.

And if you guys really like the Ender books (or anything else of Card's) then I highly suggest you check out his website: Hatrack. It has information on all of OSC's books and such, some really good message boards (including one for aspiring authors) and tons of other stuff. Its awesome.
