The Combat Command series by Gordon R. Dickson spans ten books from 1977 to 1989, opening with The Cold Cash War and returning to that world more than a decade later with a cluster of books published between 1987 and 1989. Titles like Cut by Emerald, Shines the Name, and The Omega Rebellion all appeared in 1987, followed by a busy 1988 run that includes The Legion At War, Slammers Down!, The Black Road War, and Lord of Lances.

The series closes out in 1989 with Dorsai’s Command and Cold Cash Warrior, the latter title bringing the series back to where it began. Readers who start with The Cold Cash War will find the later books build on the conflicts and factions introduced there.
