The Dorsai Companion Gordon R. Dickson (Ace 0-441-16026-3, Jun ’86 [May ’86], $5.95, 231pp, pb) [Childe Cycle] Collection of fiction and non-fiction pieces belonging to the “Childe Cycle”. This has the two stories from The Spirit of Dorsai (1979) without the bridging material, and the two stories from Lost Dorsai (1980), dropping the Sandra Meisel afterword. This volume doesn’t add any fiction, but includes a new Dickson introduction to the whole series, a number of charts, genealogies, and chronologies, plus a pseudo- travelogue on Dorsai. It isn’t quite an omnibus of the earlier two volumes, although it certainly replaces them. It is not illustrated. (CNB)
