The Richard Jackson Saga is Ed Nelson’s most expansive work, spanning 17 books that take the title character across decades and continents. Beginning with Richard’s origin story, the series quickly moves through Hollywood’s golden age, wartime intrigue, and academic life at Oxford before plunging into Cold War spy territory.
Later entries send Richard to Siberia, Australia, and even to the moon in The Lunar Kingdom. The series mixes real historical events with fiction, giving readers a tour of the twentieth century through the eyes of one resourceful protagonist.
