Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Click the links below for more information on each novel, including information about the author, main characters, and nature of the "lost gospel." Spoiler alert: these capsule summaries will give details about the narrative that may constitute "spoilers." Where possible, I also include links to professional and amateur reviews of the novels.
At the bottom of each novel's page you will find a link back to this library and a link to the next novel published.
