Found a nice hardcover first printing of The Final Encyclopedia. I don't think Dickson every finished his Dorsai saga.

I think I'm one book away from completing the so-called Childe Cycle (Dorsai!) by Gordon R. Dickson. As best I can figure the books before The Final Encyclopedia don't really follow a narrative arc like the Dune series. Dickson kicked the bucket before he could finish it.

Resale shop find. $1.68. The Dorsai/Childe cycle is like nearly impossible to put together or make sense of. I did enjoy this. Very Paul/Dune-ish.
