(Oh dear. Was there in fact a novel by that name, or is it just the name of the series?)

I have not seen the 'combined' re-issue volume. Of course, I didn't go looking for it either <g>

#718041 Thu 10/07/14 17:48 UTC | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,970 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,970 | Since I started this I figured it was up to me to do some stats, after eliminating the doubles we have used 188 titles so far. Of those Robert Heinlein appears the most times with eight different titles. Below is list of authors who have appeared more than once.
Robert A. Heinlein 8 Terry Pratchett 6 Isaac Asimov 5 Poul Anderson 4 Lois McMaster Bujold 4 Dan Simmons 4 Roger Zelazny 4 Iain M. Banks 3 C.J. Cherryh 3 Gordon Dickson 3 Anne McCaffrey 3 Larry Niven 3 James H. Schmitz 3 Douglas Adams 2 Piers Anthony 2 Alfred Bester 2 Ben Bova 2 Marion Zimmer Bradley 2 Edgar Rice Burroughs 2 Steven Brust 2 Jim Butcher 2 Michael Crichton 2 Philip K. Dick 2 Ray Feist 2 Neil Gaiman 2 William Gibson 2 Frank Herbert 2 Ursula K. Le Guin 2 C. S. Lewis 2 H.P. Lovecraft 2 Andre Norton 2 Kim Stanley Robinson 2 Robert Silverberg 2 J. R. R. Tolkien 2 A.E. VanVogt 2
What other stats would you be interested in seeing?
I obviously have a sortable list of the titles used thus far if anyone is interested I can E-mail it to you.
