Philip Jose Farmer’s The Dungeon series, written by Bruce Coville, spans nine books with the first two published in 1988: the self-titled opener and The Black Tower. The original run moved quickly through the late 1980s and into 1990, covering The Lake of Fire, The Valley of Thunder, The Final Battle, and The Hidden City. These books form the core of the series and should be read in order since each picks up where the previous one left off.

Later entries arrived well after the original run. The Dungeon appeared in 2003, The Dark Abyss in 2016, and a repackaged edition of The Final Battle (Vol. 6) came out in 2017. The series has a long publishing history as a result, but the bulk of the story was told in that initial 1988 to 1990 stretch.
