    It is the third solo iteration of Firebird by Kathy Tyers.

    The first was the original Bantam edition but with limited faith elements.
    The second was the one I helped edit in 1999 for Bethany House.
    In 2011 it was released in a 3-in-1 trilogy with annotations.

    I thought it would be fun to bring back one of the classic Christian science-fiction titles to a new generation of reader who have been unable to buy the solo volumes for many years. And technically it could be seen as a 15th anniversary edition.

    Getting a cool new cover was a bonus.
