While these series exist on the same overarching timeline, they are standalone journeys. You do not need to read one to fully understand the other.
Simply choose your entry point: start just after the Second American Revolution, or jump to the a science fiction point where the reprucussions are far reaching. Or if you want something even more distant, there is the beginning of another age that can be explored.
Either way, you are free to explore the Amiverse at your own pace. No extra information required.

5 Books: Start with "Inside: Part 1" or "Inside: Special Expanded Edition" (Kindle only)

Throughout "Inside," Greggory Altereye is mentioned frequently as exploring the recesses of space for other liveable planets. This is the same team for which the Altereye System will be named in "The Significant."
The D.E.M.O.N Project mentioned in the original "Inside: Part 3" ending will eventually be simplified to "demon" as a species within the Amiverse, which is heavily featured in K.J. Amidon's "Dimension Guardian Series."
The Overseer appears in the pages of "Inside." They are in disguise, so keep an eye for similar initials and any character that seems to know too much.
