To Bell The Cat

To Bell The Cat is the second book in the Orphans of Mars series and was published in December 2014. It principally concerns the arrival of Nisja of Titan, the discovery of the second Martian ship, and a plan to "bell" the old rex. It introduces one of the members of Earth Colony, Fennisa, as well as the pteranodon thief.

Publication History
The book collects a story that was first serialized in the six-issue miniseries of the same name. However, the book adds "about two and a half chapters", expanding upon the story. Important events, such as Petara and Kellin's discussion of Ress's role in Jarissy's death, take place in the book but not in the original online version.

Stories
As the book interweaves several continuous threads, it might be more appropriate to term these as "chapters" rather than stories. Unique for the series, most stories/chapters usually interweave several points of view, instead of maintaining a single POV for the duration of the story.
