Reading the book Titus Alone atm.. It's a great read and anyone who is a fan of Peake should come help me flesh this page out. Kathleen Reinoga 05:38, 5 March 2007 (CST)

I have had a go at expanding the biographical section. Michael Forde Cayley 10:45, 26 April 2008 (CDT)

I think talk of a "trilogy" is just publisher-speak. As far as I can make out, it's just a series of which three books happen to have been more or less finished by the author's death. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

If one follows my dictionary's definition of a trilogy as three works connected by subject matter, then the three novels constitute a trilogy. If you expect a trilogy to have been planned as an artistic unity from the beginning, then I doubt whether it is the case. In publisher-speak these days "trilogy" just means a very long novel divided into three separate publications, and for all I know that may have become the dominant meaning.--Martin Wyatt (talk) 18:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
