Michelle | 386 comments Joe, This is in process and I'll update you once it's done.

For future requests, please include links to ALL specific books (in this case 5 books not just 1) on Goodreads as well as on Amazon, or the series page on Amazon if it's a series. It can be very time consuming (especially when unfamiliar with the series and/or author) to do all of the research and cross-checking to be sure we find the right books, etc., so having all applicable links from you is helpful.

In addition to that helping the librarian volunteers, it may also help your requests get done faster without all the bumping.

Thanks!!

Michelle | 386 comments Hi Joe, It's done. Here are the high points...

Turns out this is a comic and graphic novel version of the book series, so I created a separate series for it.
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2796...

I also added them to the universe page that you linked to.
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2627...

Should be all set.

Michelle | 386 comments P.S. I realize you mentioned comic series, but I initially took that as an addition / continuation of the main works rather than a same version of it. So my apologies if I misunderstood your original intent.

Joe | 3691 comments it is an addition actually not an adaption its a different story about different characters in the same universe but thanks and sorry I didn't know about having to show them individually as well

Michelle | 386 comments Hmmm. When I looked at the author's website, it said he's "bringing his best-selling sci-fi series to comics." And, "The Lost Fleet: Corsair features all the engaging character elements that have helped make the Lost Fleet novels such an incredible success – but this time, the series’ epic space battles are brought to stunning life thanks to incredible visuals"

And main character names were the same, so it seemed like it was a visual storytelling of the same story - or at least a part of the story from one or more (of Fearless, Dauntless, Valiant, Relentless, Courageous and Victorious). But you're saying it's not? (I may just send links to the author to confirm either way.)

On the links, yes - if it's 5 books being added to a series it helps to include links to all of them. And for when we compare them to the series on Amazon, it helps to have the series page. Sometimes it pretty quick for us to figure out and other times not so much - so that's why it helps the librarians. Which also can help your request be completed sooner. It's up to you, but it's strongly preferred that requests have all links.

Joe | 3691 comments the main character of the main series is john geary and the main character of the comics is michael geary they are related obviously.

Michelle | 386 comments Thanks!! (thumbs up)
Have note out to author for best placement.
Still nice that you submitted the info so the comic series now has a series page and so they're part of the universe - even if possibly in wrong order at moment. :)
