I LOVE Orson Scott Card. Everything he's ever written has been fan-freaking-tastic! He's not afraid to really push the limits of logic in his works, particularly this one. Time travel has always been a fave for all sci-fi writers and readers since the very beginning. But what he does that few others do, is make it logical. The characters use it fully as a tool, not just a fun romp around or endless paradoxes, but in a way that intelligent people would utilize the capabilities to solve serious problems. He also makes very realistic characters (other than perhaps Rigg who is far too self-sacrificial, but you could argue that same flaw in Ender)
I always recommend Orson Scott Card to people. He is a master of seamlessly twining together fantasy with enough logic to make it believable. If you've never read one of his books, pick up Pathfinder (book one in this series).
