Hey, Tiemen. Great to hear that you enjoyed Ephialtes. Phobos Rising (Ephialtes Part II) is exclusive to Amazon at the moment so it can be part of Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. There is no DRM on any of my books, so if you were to buy a copy of Phobos Rising from Amazon you could use a program like Calibre to convert it to epub or any other format of your choice. Alternatively, Amazon provide a free Kindle reader for the major computing platforms – Android, iOs, PC, and Mac.
The Ephialtes Shorts Collection , a collection of five (fairly long) shorter pieces sits between books one and two of the trilogy. You might get more out of Phobos Rising if you read that first, though it’s not essential to the novel trilogy.
If you have any problems or further questions contact me directly through ephialtestrilogy.com/contact
Thanks again for getting in touch. I really hope you enjoy the other books.

I don't have a reading list. I have a pile (strictly speaking some piles) of books, which I add to now and then, and when I've finished my current book I go to the pile to choose the next one.
Criteria for my next book are:
1) Not too similar to the last one.
2) Shorter than than the last one (if the last one was long) or longer than the last one (if the last one was short).
3) Heavier going, if the last one was an easy read, or vice versa.
4) What I'm finding intriguing at the particular moment I visit the pile.
I should be finishing my current read in the next day or two. I think the next book off the pile will be Meredith Wilson's account of how The Music Man came into being, "But He Doesn't Know the Territory."

Batman and The Joker. The mythic status and malleability of the characters keeps them endlessly interesting as they’re constantly being reinvented, always different, always the same. Batman is emblematic of humanity, The Joker represents the chaos and indifference of an uncaring universe. I particularly like the way none of this was planned - these characters grew from the human race’s subconscious. Similarly, they belong to no one (IP considerations notwithstanding!) Like the gods of yore they continue to build upon the footings they have established in the minds of their acolytes. They speak to us all and belong to us all. We made them.
