Rob Thomas wrote four standalone novels between 1996 and 1999, releasing one per year during that stretch. Rats Saw God kicked things off in 1996, followed by Slave Day, Satellite Down, and Green Thumb in successive years. The steady annual output shows a productive period of fiction writing for Thomas.
Since these are all standalone stories, readers can pick them up in any order. There is no shared plot or recurring cast connecting the four books, so each one works on its own. The list above follows publication order for those who prefer to read chronologically through Thomas’s work.
