Nine volumes of works by Canadian-American science fiction writer Gordon R. Dickson. Nine volumes. Written by Gordon Rupert Dickson, a Canadian-American science fiction writer who was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2000. The Genetic General, 1960. Donal, Dorsai of the Dorsai, was the final outcome of that long inheritance a master of space war and strategyand yet Donal was something new also. For he was the focus of a strange force beyond himself, possibly beyond the very galaxy he served. Naked to the Stars, 1961. During an action on the third planet from Arcturus, soldier Cal Truent woke up in the hospital with a sixteen-hour hole in his memory. Tactics of Mistake, 1971. After a battle injury crippled one of his knees, Lieutenant Colonel Cletus Grahame feels he needs to get out in the field and try putting his new theories into practice. He arranges to be sent to the world of Kultis, where the Alliance is supporting the Exotic colony of Bakhalla in a war against the neighboring colony of Neuland. The Alien Way, 1973. One man is mentally linked to an alien who is spearheading an invasion of Earth; a group of soldiers fight to win new space for Earth; and a small group of men fight against a machine that controls all life. Soldier, Ask Not, 1975. In the late 23rd century, humanity has settled fifteen younger worlds around nine stars, including Earth's solar system. Although Old Earth remains populated by the traditional variety of "full-spectrum" people, the younger worlds have developed "splinter" cultures, taking very divergent paths and developing specialized cultures. Mission to Universe, 1981. General Benjamin Shore was heading for the stars under forged orders - and in defiance of the commands of the President. He was leaving Earth in an untested ship with a crew chosen by necessity and with nothing but faith to guide him. His only hope was to find habitable worlds in the unexplored reaches of space ahead. Necromancer, 1983. The prequel to Dickson's earlier novel Dorsai! which follows the fortunes of Paul Formain, a mining engineer in the late 21st Century who endures several accidents. The Spirit of Dorsai, 1983. A collection of two science fiction stories including "Amanda Morgan" and "Brothers". Lost Dorsai, 1984. Another collection of science fiction stories including "Lost Dorsai", "Warrior" and "The Plume and the Sword". In the original pictorial paper binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Very Good.…
