What possessed Forester to publish the 6th book first? I feel like a demanding child constantly asking why, but if I was considering writing a series I would begin with the first book. It's possible that having written something expected to be a stand-alone, prequels might then be thought of, but a sequel would be more likely. One would want to continue working with the characters, take them on other adventures, allow them to grow even more. Then, having done that, maybe consider their early years.
Thinking about it, I can see how a series could grow out of sequence. Think I've answered my own question, thanks for helping.
