There's no way to do a "summary" version. Every chapter is there for a reason, though the reader will understand it only after a re-reading. ^^" For the moment we have something like 700+ pages, so you may see how it would be impossible. :P Besides that, we already have our hands full with the main story, we cannot afford to put that aside for anything else. :)

That's an interesting thing to ponder about... I don't know, perhaps he will go all Spockish and order people to stop gossiping about the Captain, followed by a Eyebrow of Doom. Who knows... :-?
