It's been a while since I read Jack the Bodiless, but isn't this article more a summary of the whole Galactic Milieu series than just the one novel? Would it be better to treat it as such and rename it "Galactic Milieu Series" and expand? · rodii · 14:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree to that too. Would you add Intervention as part of this too? · Solapse · — Preceding undated comment added 14:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, done. I made a first stab at a rewrite and expansion, but it needs help! Please pitch in. · rodii · 02:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
One. I have a copy of the initial hardcover release right here. When it was released as a mass market paperback a year later it was split into two volumes for marketing reasons, but that doesn't mean it's two novels. Neither half really stands on its own structurally as a story, unlike the other milieu novels. (I think you could argue that the third and fourth volumes of the Pleistocene Exile series should actually be thought of as one novel also, but they fact is they were originally published as two separate novels, unlike Intervention. · rodii · 01:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Since this is about the series as a whole, would it make sense to also add in details regarding the events of each book? Plot synopses, information about the metapowers, identifying the Milieu races, the role of the Lylmik, the history behind Atoning Unifex? Mohsin.Siddiqui 13:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Basically, lets get all the data down, the rough story etc and then we can pretty-fy it :-D and then split into books etc. Ive made a bit of a start. · Solapse · — Preceding undated comment added 15:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Further more, could do with some proper information on the 'Family ghost' & Atoning Unifex. Perhaps a protagonist/Antagonist section outlining each character. Same could be done for the Alien species · Solapse · — Preceding undated comment added 15:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Great work Bakabaka, i'm going to keep putting stuff down over time to do with the story, if someone could shorten it and edit it a bit, that'd be great. Its hard to shorten, what with the multiple facets e.g. the whole fury/hydra side, the metapsychic rebellion and explaining both! · Solapse · — Preceding undated comment added 01:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to come up with a proper introduction for this article, detailing the different races in the Milieu and a short definition of the different metafaculties. I have read the series in Dutch, however, and am having problems with the powers' names as Ms. May has given them. I can come up with 'creativity', 'healing', 'redaction', 'psychokinetics' ('PK'), and 'farsensing'. Am I missing one? Any help would be appreciated! -- Bakabaka 15:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I am considdering publishing a complete family tree of all major actors, similar to the one at the end of Intervention for use as reference by readers and students of the book. Does anyone find it inappropriate if I publish it as part of this wikipedia article? Cuardin ( talk) 12:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
I have restructured the article to have the more general material at the top, which makes the plot summaries easier to understand. The last plot summary still needs some rewording. Radagast3 ( talk) 11:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
