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.(less)

Hi, I totally enjoyed Ephialtes part 1. Now I would like to read part 2 Phobos Rising. But I can only find the Kindle edition. Is it possible to buy an epub or a different digital format somewhere, so I can read it on my Sony ereader?

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.(less)

Review: Western Stars – Bruce Springsteen

Western Stars is an intimate, measured work, far removed from the bombast of a thunderous stadium gig, and a no lesser thing for it. 4/5
