Talk:The Reality Dysfunction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have almost completely re-written the original article. Previously it was a group of separate sections describing an individual aspect of the book. Instead I've written an intro blurb and a rough summary of the plot, since this seems to be the norm for this type of article.
"The paperback version was broken into two parts, Emergence, and Expansion." - I believe this is only in the USA, the rest of the world has it one large paperback, as do the other two books in the trilogy.
A good basis for the article, but with plenty of scope for expansion. I'm already busy on the George RR Martin and Steven Erikson pages, but I'll try to get around to expanding this and the other PFH pages with the inclusion of infoboxes and so forth. A few notes on the existing information: the Night's Dawn Universe is only the setting for the trilogy and the two companion volumes, the Second Chance at Eden anthology and the Confederation Handbook guidebook. His other seven books and his next three are all set outside of the Night's Dawn Universe. The paperbacks of the novels are only split in multiple volumes outside the UK (the original country of publication); in the UK you can get the three books are one-volume mass-market paperbacks. Some of the information is a bit POV, such as the higher levels of sex and violence than in other SF books. I've certainly read books with far more that NDT. Otherwise, some good information there.--Werthead 12:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
