Ender's game was a short story - then reworked into a longer book - it's sequels in terms of timelines spilt in two directions:
You have (I think it's called) the speaker of the dead series (xenocide is one of those) - this follows Ender, His sister and others and their adventures in space - this are thousands of years in the future (due to the travel time and the effects of near-light travel). All of the events in the other series are historical events at this point.
The other series (Shadow of the hegemon) follows events on earth just after the aliens are defeated. This follows Ender's brother, Bean and others as they fight for control of the earth.
Ender's shadow reexamines the effects of ender's game from another viewpoint. It is also the kick-off for the earth based stuff.
