Howdy

Does the Worthing Saga contain all the stories from Capitol, Hot Sleep and The Worthing Chronicle or do I need to acquire some of those oop books too?

Cheers

Jae

As far as I know it does...But I haven't looked at Worthing Saga in a while.

IIRC, not all of Capitol made it into the Worthing Saga or Worthing Chronicles. The Capitol story about the growing up and family who became the serpent of Hot Sleep's Eden wasn't there.

Saga includes Chronicle and parts of Capitol. Hot Sleep is sort of a different format of the same story being written, as I recall, but I read Hot Sleep a very long time ago so I could be wrong.

Stories in Capitol that aren't in Saga: A Sleep and a Forgetting; A Thousand Deaths (though it is in Maps in a Mirror); Burning; When No One Remembers His Name, Does God Retire?; The Stars That Blink.

Man, that story was awesome. Gruesome, but still quite good.

The short story Holy (also in Maps) wasn't in any of the Worthing books, but it too is set in the Worthing universe. In case you care.

Oh, it is?

Geez, that makes a lot of sense. I didn't even realize that. What a beautiful story. *thinks back*

For the most part it does. I read Hot Sleep, but I don't think I've read Capitol. Hot Sleep is written in a different format, and probably wouldn't have worked as a part of The Worthing Saga.

Wasn't there another story in Maps in the Mirror that is part of the Worthing Universe? The story where a group of people travel to the top of a mountain, and most of the them die on the way. The planet they are on is called Garden, which is where Abner Doon is from.
