    A Captivity in Serpens is the retitling of The Amazing Planet. (stated on page 5 of the introduction; not on the Copyright page - the Copyright misleadingly suggests that magazine title is A Captivity in Serpens).
    From Copyright page: "Interior layout and design by Jeremy Lassen"; "First Trade Edition" stated.
    The Ocean-World of Alioth is NOT a story. It is synopsis+short draft (in the main entry classified incompletely as "fragment".
    These 3 stories plus notes to 4th story constitute a series.
    Amazon incorrectly claims a publication date of July 2005. The verifier has a Borders newsletter from 2004 which lists the book as being almost sold out, which verifies the books copyright date.
