Gordon R. Dickson’s standalone short fiction listed here consists of two works separated by nearly six decades. No Shield from the Dead appeared in 1953, during the early years of Dickson’s writing career. It Hardly Seems Fair followed much later in 2011, well after most of his major novels and series had been published.
The two titles can be read independently and in any order. Readers already familiar with Dickson’s longer works may find these shorter pieces a quick way to sample his writing at different points in his career.
