The Humanx Commonwealth series spans eight books published over more than three decades, from 1975 to 2008. It opens with Midworld and continues through Cachalot (1980), Nor Crystal Tears (1982), and Voyage to the City of the Dead (1984). The titles suggest a science fiction setting that moves between different worlds, environments, and alien encounters.

The series picked up again in 1985 with Sentenced to Prism, then had a long gap before The Howling Stones appeared in 1997. Drowning World followed in 2003, and Quofum closed out the series in 2008. With publication dates spread across 33 years, new readers can pick up the full run all at once rather than waiting between releases as the original audience did.
