Nick Klaus and the Room of Lost Footsteps — Frederic Colier

If you have followed the past adventures of Nick Klaus, this is the volume you have been waiting for. In "Nick Klaus and the Room of the Lost Footsteps," Nicolas comes to learn a thing or two about himself.

First, the up-and-coming, "Nick Klaus and Tumbling Jumblelium," builds on elements introduced in "The Room of the Lost Footsteps," notably the premise for the entire series, which was first hinted at in the "Outmoded Landscape."

Second, given that I intend to release a new Nick Klaus book every two months, it is your benefit to want to know Nick Klaus's back story, where he comes from and how he ended up in the mess he is in, even if later you decide to skip, for reasons I could
