I was told to read the two special editions last, because they would make sense. I just read the "Gaia Abducted" today and it was AMAZING. However, i really wish i read the specail editions in order with all the books. It really would have made the ending more satisfying. So, just to anybody whos new to reading the books...you should read BEFORE GAIA after #22-Alone and it dosnt say when to read Gaia abducted...I'm guessing around the same...22.
i think i remember reading the special editions when they came out. i agree, they were SO goooood.
