01 Dorsai
Throughout the Fourteen Worlds of humanity, no race is as feared and respected as the Dorsai. The ultimate warriors, they are known for their deadly rages, unbreakable honor, and fierce independence. No man rules the Dorsai, but their mastery of the art of war has made them the most valuable mercenaries in the known universe.Donal Graeme is Dorsai, taller and harder than any ordinary man. But he is different as well, with talents that amaze even his fellow Dorsai. And once he ventures out into the stars, the future will never be the same….
02 Necromancer
The machine that controlled all life wouldn’t tolerate any interference. People who refused to be regulated had to be disposed of – isolated, driven insane, murdered. A small group of men had dedicated themselves to fighting this Frankenstein of man’s technological achievement. Secretly they laid plans to destroy the machine and all its worksincluding the millions of people who had accepted their robot-like existence. Either way, the human race was doomed!
03 Soldier, Ask Not
On the sixteen colonized worlds, mankind had changed, evolved into something that was slightly more than human…and slightly less. Men of War on the Dorsai worlds, men of Faith on the Friendly Worlds of Harmony and Association, men of Science, the Exotics of Kultis and Mara, and the Splinter cultures which had produced even stranger new talents.Those who knew said it was the Dorsai who supplied soldiers to the sixteen worlds. The Friendlies supplied cannon fodder, common soldiers who could be relied on to obey orders at all times.But even cannon fodder can sometimes produce genius. Jamethon Black is a true soldier, and a true man of faith. Now he must face a deadly enemy–an enemy whose defeat will forever separate Black from the only woman he has ever loved.
04 Tactics of Mistake
The men of the Dorsai were the finest fighting soldiers in the universe, mercenary troops without equal. Their talents were devastatingly employed on Kultis, where a bloody little war raged between the Western Alliance and Eastern Coalition. But not even the Dorsaid could anticipate the dramatic effect of Cletus Grahame’s brilliant mind and the galaxy-shaking theory he called The Tactics of Mistake. This first in book the Dorsai sequence is the story of how Cletus Grahame risked his life, the fate of three worlds, and ultimately the whole of the Dorsai to prove that a mistake may remake worlds.
05 Spirit of Dorsai
Throughout the universe, the Dorsai are feared and respected as the most effective soldiers humanity has ever known. But the warrior spirit of the Dorsai does not, cannot, reside solely in the men of that race – for when the Dorsai go to fight wars on distant planets, it is the women who remain behind to defend their world and their future. The home planet of the Dorsai has never fallen to any invader, although many have tried…
06 Lost Dorsai
There are many legends on the planet of the Dorsai, the breeding ground for heroes. Here are two of them.Lost Dorsai: The New Dorsai Companion contains the Hugo Award winning novella, Lost Dorsai, and Dickson’s classic short story "Warrior."Plus, the New Dorsai Companion contains, for the first time ever, an all new Concordance of the Childe Cycle–a roadmap of Dickson’s massive and brilliant creation. The Concordance will let you know not only in which books or stories a person or place is mentioned, but will give you a brief history or biography that explains their significance in the Cycle.
07 Final Encyclopedia
The Final Encyclopedia tells of the events which occur when the human race is split into three splinter cultures: the Friendlies, fanatic in their faith; the truth-seeking Exotics; and the warrior Dorsai. But now humanity is threatened by the power-hungry Others, whose triumph would end all human progress. Hal Mayne is an orphan who was raised by three tutors: an Exotic, a Friendly and a Dorsai. He is the only human capable of uniting humanity against the Others. But only if he is willing to accept the terrible destiny of . . . Saviour of mankind.
09 The Chantry Guild
A lone ship piloted by Dorsai Amanda Morgan runs the blockade of Earth. She has come to rouse Hal Mayne from his researches on The Final Encyclopedia. The news she brings is frightening: Bleys Ahrens plans to lead the forces of the Younger Worlds in a single headlong attack on Earth that must destroy both sides. But Amanda hasn’t come to fight. She spirits Hal away to Kultis, where the secretive Chantry Guild holds mastery over the Alternate Forces. The answers he finds there may decide humanity’s most critical moment.
10 Young Bleys
Sequel to The Final Encyclopedia and newest in Dickson’s masterpiece, The Childe Cycle. Disciplined by Friendlies, schooled by Exotics, Dahno builds an interplanetary network of half-breeds called "Others". But Dahno only wants wealth and power for himself, whereas his half-brother, Bleys, sees an opportunity to challenge the Dorsai for control of the Human Worlds.
11 Other
Bleys Ahrens is now a political power on the planet Association, home of the Friendlies. His people–his Others, not Dorsai or Friendly or Exotic, but hybrids–are in place on all the new worlds, and are ready to take his message to the greater human public.But within his inner circle is Henry McLean, Soldier of God, and a True Faith-Holder. Henry fears for the soul of his nephew Bleys, and while he guards, he also watches, and judges.And beyond Bleys Ahrens’ control is Hal Mayne: the one man in all the human worlds who might successfully challenge Bleys in his bid for power. For Hal Mayne is the true culmination of the Cycle’s grand design. Bleys would give anything to convert Hal Mayne to his cause–or failing that, to destroy him.
12 Antagonist
Donal Graeme was a Dorsai, a mercenary soldier, and also a mutant gifted with insight into the path forward for the human race. Through his gifts Donal would come to bend time and live three lifetimes—and, in the process, run into problems he had not expected: first, his own flaws, and second, the existence of another mutant, Bleys Ahrens. Following Young Bleys and Other, Antagonist advances the story of the formidably powerful Bleys Ahrens. Bleys is a man with a clear vision of the struggle in which he’s involved — but an increasingly deficient sense of human values. He and his organization, the Others, are tracking down an elusive interplanetary opposition. Meanwhile, Bleys’ own intricate conspiracies and devisings, and his quest for power, which began with the best of motives, have become something darker and fiercer. He’s committed to his plans. They may bring about the advent of Homo superior. And they may destroy the human race
