Order of Gordon R. Dickson Books

Gordon R. Dickson was a Canadian-American science fiction author and a 2000 inductee into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. He is renowned for his works including the Childe Cycle, Dragon Knight, and Hoka series. Throughout his career, he received three Hugo awards and one Nebula award. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, he later relocated to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota. After completing his education, he embarked on a writing career that would become highly successful. Notably, Dickson is often credited with potentially inventing the light saber from Star Wars, as he described an advanced alien weapon called “the rod” in his novel Wolfling, which closely resembles the iconic weapon seen in Star Wars. Dickson passed away in 2001 at the age of 77.

Gordon R. Dickson became a published novelist in 1952 with the novel Time Grabber. Below is a list of Gordon R. Dickson's books in order of when they were originally released:
