Gordon R. Dickson published 37 standalone novels between 1956 and 1995. These books are independent of each other and can be read in any order. The earliest titles, Alien from Arcturus / Arcturus Landing and Mankind on the Run / On the Run, both appeared in 1956. From there, Dickson kept a steady pace through the 1960s and 1970s with books like The Alien Way (1965), Wolfling (1969), Time Storm (1977), and The Far Call (1978).
The 1980s were especially productive, with twelve standalone novels published in that decade alone, including The Forever Man (1986), Way of the Pilgrim (1987), and The Earth Lords (1988). Wolf and Iron (1990) and The Magnificent Wilf (1995) round out the list. Several of the earlier novels were published under alternate titles, as reflected in the dual names shown in the reading order above.
