Once and for all, does anyone have a definitive idea of what this book is actually about? I've heard rumors of a Big O manga-esque sidestory, rumors of an alternate retelling, and rumors of a prequel story about Roger's life prior to Act 1. ANy help would be MOST appreciated

That books been out for a while and not one person has ever claimed to own it. So good luck getting any info on it.
I bought Paradigm Noise last week. Anime Nation had it up for sale. And the last time Anime Nation put something Big O related on sale I never saw it on the site again so I decided to expand my collection. Not only do I not speak Japanese but I've been falling down on the studying Japanese job lately so I can't help in the synopsis area.
It's late tonight but tommorrow I'll snap some pictures of the color pages and also of the inside jacket. If anyone wants to give a synopsis of the prologue I'll be happy to e-mail it to you. It looks to be about six pages long. I know direct Japanese to English translations can be trechorous so I wouldn't dare ask for one but I think everyone here would be interested in getting a glimse of what this dang novel's about.
edit: I can do one thing now. Here's a list of the chapters. Not much, I know, esspecially with Japan's infamous Engrish to deal with but it's all I can do.
Prologue
Chapter 1: The Starless World
Chapter 2: An Allegory of the Knights and the Demon
Chapter 3: To the Other Side of the Sky
Epilogue
