I hope this guide help you guys

Saludos;)

Other then the Thinking caps i've heard that "End of Circle" causes the worst continuity issues between the novels and the rest of the RT universe or atleast TSC. Is that true? haven't read that far yet...

warning on end of teh circle....

you will not like it.

I know you can find 3 in 1 books on amazon.com, however does anyone know if they offer the whole intense series in 3 or 4 BIG books?

DID NOT HG DID A RE RUN OF THE NOVELS ALREADY?

NOT SURE BUT FIGURED THEY WOULD HAVE PUT ALL THE BOOKS TOGETHER

Right Memo, The End of the Circle was a unhappy and failured attemped to replace Macek´s Odissey project.

The first three fourths of End of the Circle are pretty decent but things go to crap pretty quick there after.
Actually the last couple of books are kinda blah IMO.

Only some of them have been re-released. It was mostly the first few. I've been waiting for them to re-release all of them. No luck ;_; will just have to hope to find them on ebay. Unless someone knows of somewhere else they could be.........

I doubt HG has any plans to reprint any of books 13-21 considering the less than enthusiastic reception they have on the RT.com forums. Doesn't seem to be enough of a market for it, I could be wrong though. Ebay seems to be the only place to buy them.

Amazon's used/auction/whatever section may be another place to look. I've never used it before though, as I've heard it's easier to get screwed over than it is on Ebay.
