This omnibus edition of E contains the text of all six volumes. The story begins on the Ruined World, where a superannuated art detective tries to solve a crime with the help of very smart Gizmo, but is betrayed. The rest of the story follows the discovery and colonization of E, a coup and a digital war, and its decline into chaos. Through it all, an increasingly powerful intelligence is watching, taking control of events, invading the lives of everyone. Who is it?
Ocotillo Arts Press publishes my work and some others -- a list comprising science fiction, crime fiction, literary novels, memoirs, a book on the detective as a cultural icon, and many small works downloadable for free.
I began as a novelist and writer of short stories and published two books and some 25 stories in those years. In the mid-90s I turned to making handmade books in editions of one or two, using my own writings, art, paper, design, printing, and binding. Some of these books can be found on my website http://ocotilloarts.com where you can also download such things as a book about artists books (Now the Artists Book Now) and a fragment of a walking tour of 1950 Paris. The text of my novels can be purchased as e-books either through the website http://ocotilloarts.com or from any of the usual sources. Print books are available from Amazon and other sources.. On the website you will also find a link to my blog, where bits of my novels are occasionally published along with remarks on a variety of topics. There are, however, no cat videos.
This edition contains all six of the separate volumes of the E cycle of novels. Previously volume one was published in graphic form (all six were initially artists books) and volumes 1-2 together as text. The individual volumes have been published as e-books. The e-book versions of volumes 2 and 4, and the print version of volumes 1-2, contain 200 pages of additional text not included in the Omnibus version.
