In Book Three (as yet unnamed) we'll finally return to earth to check in with Miracle, Maggie, Nettie, and Pete the Pup -- characters who were introduced in OSAS, but whose full story was never told. It's here that we'll learn the significance of who they are, how they came together, in what manner they fit into the saga, and exactly what their fates will be. Although their presence in OSAS was limited, it was necessary to incorporate them into several chapters of that volume because of the apparently predestined nature of their interaction with James Wagner at the Howsley Centre.
