The Coyote Jones series represents Suzette Haden Elgin’s entry into science fiction during the early 1970s, when she was still building her academic career alongside her writing. The series centers on a telepath working as a government agent in a far-future interstellar civilization, navigating politically complex assignments that draw on both his unusual abilities and his human judgment.

The first two novels, The Communipaths (1970) and Furthest (1971), established the setting and character. At the Seventh Level (1972) continued the series, with further installments coming later with Star-Anchored, Star-Angered (1979) and Yonder Comes The Other End of Time (1986). Communipath Worlds (1980) is an omnibus collecting earlier entries. The series has the texture of classic science fiction from that period: plot-driven, ideas-forward, and set against a backdrop of galactic politics and social structures.
