- The Reefs of Space (1964)
- Starchild (1965)
- Rogue Star (1969)
An omnibus edition titled The Starchild Trilogy was first published by the Science Fiction Book Club in October 1977.
Reception
[edit]Algis Budrys praised The Reefs of Space as "a most rewarding piece of science fiction . . . full of inventions [and] the constant generation of science-fiction ideas and science-fiction characters." However, he criticized its ending as "anticlimactic" and for its failure to resolve themes involving several prominent characters.[2]
