Order of Gordon R. Dickson Books
Gordon R. Dickson was a Canadian-American science fiction writer and 2000 Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame inductee. He is best known as the author of the Childe Cycle, Dragon Knight and Hoka series of books. During his career, he won three Hugo awards and one Nebula award.
Dickson was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and later moved to Minneapolis where he would attend the University of Minnestora. After college, he began writing which started his long and illustrious career. One unique claim to fame for Dickson is that he may be the inventor of the light saber from Star Wars. Dickson described an advanced alien weapon called “the rod” in his novel Wolfling and the description matches up with what we’ve seen in Star Wars very well. Dickson passed away in 2001 at the age of 77.
