Hi Liana, thanks for the question.

For the e-book version, the omnibus includes all text and images that were included when the saga was available as individual e-books. The audiobook version has been edited slightly - it does not include the Foreword, for instance, and perhaps one of the appendices - though all of the main story material from the e-book is included in the audiobook as well.

I hope this helps.

Best,

The interview pertained to THE SONG OF THE JUBILEE but the answer to the what inspired me to write Jubilee question is as relevant for Jubilee as it is for The Phantom of the Earth Series.

The Phantom of the Earth Series Update

Hello All—


A lot has happened since my last update in August.


The Phantom of the Earth eBooks have all been formatted and proofread and are listed for pre-order on Amazon. I don’t know how many times I edited and rewrote parts or all of the series over the last 3-plus years. But after 5 rounds of professional editing and 4 beta reader rounds, I’m comfortable enough with the books to publish them and

“Something awful must’ve happened on the surface, Damy thought. He squeezed his forearm, looking at the animated tattoo there, the mark of the strike teams.”
Raeden Zen, The Song of the Jubilee

“The best time to study Reassortment was right after it killed, for while the synthetic organism persisted in the Earth’s atmosphere and bedrock, humans remained its primary, preferred host. It was designed for humans, and could recognize them—it only went into deadly action in their presence.”
Raeden Zen, The Phantom of the Earth, Books 1-5

“Where’s Murray?” he asked. Their developer always traveled with them to the Block on mornings during the peak season. “Murray isn’t coming with us today,” Hans said. “Is”
Raeden Zen, The Song of the Jubilee

“Everything you can imagine is real.”
Pablo Picasso

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
William Faulkner

“When shall we live if not now?”
Shirley Jackson, The Sundial
