John Purdy asked Wesley Chu:

Just finished Rebirths, it was great! Have you ever considered writing a Tao and his different hosts throughout his time on Earth?

Wesley Chu Hi John. Glad you enjoyed it. Funny you ask that. My first drafts of Lives of Tao had eight chapters of Tao with his many different hosts throughout his time on Earth.

When my publisher bought the book, they asked me to remove them and condense everything into those little segments at the beginning of the chapters. Tore my heart out at the time but it did speed up the book.
