Gordon R. Dickson’s Dilbia series opens with Spacial Delivery in 1960, a science fiction story set in a world populated by bear-like aliens. The second book, Space Paw, followed nine years later in 1969, and the series then went quiet for over three decades before The Right to Arm Bears wrapped things up in 2000.
With only three books spread across forty years, the Dilbia series is a compact but long-running corner of Dickson’s science fiction output. Readers coming to it for the first time can read all three in publication order without any gaps in the story.
