1050:, but not sure how that applies here. You'd still need reliable sources to show that the works are notable eventually - that's the whole point of Knowledge, after all. It needs to be possible to verify this kind of thing. Since this article and the individual book articles are mostly plot summary, I just think it makes sense to combine them all for a more cohesive whole. As someone who is not familiar with this series, I didn't really understand any of the content on the sequel books, since they assume familiarity with the earlier books. IMO, it would flow better and make more sense as one thing. --

Aquinas was a medieval religious figure and not a missionary, the Thomas you're thinking of is more likely St. Thomas the Apostle (the doubting chap in the accounts of the Resurrection), described by certain legends as having been a missionary to India and points further east

Since the articles have no sources, a merge sounds good to me. I added a reception section and cleaned this page up a bit. (Btw, the tagged users don't appear to be active, so I'm not sure if they'll respond.)

I propose merging all the individual books in the series into this page. They're all just glorified plot summaries with zero sources, and I don't really see a reason for them to have their own pages. --
