Tim (techthing) | 229 comments This book is not published yet, but the info's already on the publisher's website: http://www.moutons-electriques.fr/liv...

Please add this book (Shakti): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

to this series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1669...

If possible, could you edit the title of Dévoreur so that the series is indicated in the same way as the other 2 books (in this case: Les Sentiers des Astres, #0)? Just asking, because I think that's the reason why on the author's page, Stefan Platteau, the series only seems (!) to contain 1 book (Manesh).

Many thanks in advance. :)

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1878 comments Done. This book it's part of the series? In the series description: "Book 0 can be read as a stand-alone." so I guess that it must not be part of the series. Or I am wrong about this? It is connceted with the other books?

Tim (techthing) | 229 comments Thank you. :) Dévoreur is a sort of stand-alone prequel, is not directly connected to (the story of) the trilogy itself (as Mr. Platteau explained in interviews), but serves as an intro to the world, to the setting. Hence, in my opinion, it's better to leave it in the series.

It's also written in the blurb: "Une plongée dans l’âme d’un monstre, dans l’univers des Sentiers des Astres.
Un court roman pouvant se lire en toute indépendance du cycle principal" - Roughly translated: A dive into the soul of the monster, into the universe of Sentiers des Astres. A short novel that can be read independently of the main cycle.

Which leaves my other question: Why isn't the author's page showing that the series (already) contains 3 books? See below "Series by Stefan Platteau".

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1878 comments Maybe because the GR policy don't show up the 0 book edition as part of the series. But a staff member can answer your question better than me.

Author pages are heavily cached, it can take a few days to fully update. Book 2 will be showing on the author page.

On the author page, only primary books in a series are shown (no novellas or omnibus editions). I believe there is a technical issue that a book #0 can not/should not be marked as a primary edition. Book 0 will not be showing on the author page; it is showing on the series page and on the book page.
