The only place I've read anything about this newest book in the Shadow series is Wikipedia. I can't vouch for the content--although as a fan of Card--I'm hoping it's true!

Shadows in Flight is a yet-to-be-published science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, which will link the Bean quartet back to the Ender novels.
Very little about the book is known at this time; Card has announced it, along with a prequel to Speaker for the Dead tentatively titled Ender in Exile: Ganges, but it is not known how much work he has done on either novel or even if he has started them. Card has stated explicitly that Shadows in Flight will wrap up some of the plot threads left dangling in Shadow of the Giant. However, in an interview with SciFi.com, he established that Flight would pick up where Children of the Mind (the final book in the Ender quartet) left off, as opposed to starting with the ending of Giant [1], leaving fans wondering just how Card plans to tie the two series together.

But that still doesn't answer the when of it. As a fan, I'm always hoping for soon. But my guess would be another year or two.

You should read the books in sequence. Ender's Game is really a book of its own and not part of the rest of the series. The first book in the rest of the series is "Speaker for the Dead." But be prepared: the rest of the series is not action-packed and exciting like Ender's Game, it is very philosophical and about how different people look at the world and the flaws of humanity.

Hmm I heard late 2007 or early 2008. Are they still any good? I stopped reading the series a while back. Seems like the first Enders Game book was the best...after that it was hard to keep up ;-)

His official website does not list him working on a new Ender book:
