I think it's one of those things I just can't resist. Without knowing 
any more about the book than the possible subtitle (well, and what I 
know of the first two books), how about: Horizons, Opportunities,  
Missionaries (as in people relaying a message to the wide green world, 
which I inferred from the second book.), or even Message if you don't 
like the religious connotations of "missionaries".  I suppose it depends 
on what the book is primarily about.  I keep thinking something along 
the lines of Perspective, too, for whatever reason (maybe that getting 
out into the world will give them some perspective on their former 
lives, as well as giving the world some perspective on Malices).    
It's hard to tell if I'm getting arguably better than _Wide Green 
World_, not knowing  how relevant it is to the plot.
 
Of course, you've probably had a dictionary full of suggestions by now.
 
I appreciate the book suggestions.  I always like to be able to add to 
my favorite author list.

*** No, I haven't had many suggestions.  _Horizon_ is actually pretty 
good.  Keep 'em coming, by all means.
