Suspend your belief with me a second and imagine if you were to connect all the short stories into one plot. Where would you start and end?

I'll start us off by beginning on Milton Krest's boat in The Hildebrand Rarity...

    Well, according to some repoçrts I've read, the stories from FYEO were later done as a novel. I don't remember by who, however, and I've never read it. Maybe someone here had better luck ?

    This is an intriguing mission should anyone take it on.

    I think FAVTAK was originally intended to be Drax's backstory.
