The Edge Chronicles

Quint, Twig and Rook are all characters of "The Edge Chronicles"

The tenth book is hinted to be about Old Sanctaphrax floating in Open Sky. It is part of no sequence, just tieing off all of the loose ends and unanswered questions that have developed through the series. Paul Stewart has also written a book that fits in with The Edgelands but not the story itself, "The Edge Chronicles Maps".
