The Final Encyclopaedia
Author: Gordon R Dickson
 
Almost a century has passed since the legendary Donal Graeme, master of interplanetary warfare and unifier of mankind, disappeared into the vastness of space. Out of his great vision only scattered colonies of the Dorsai, Earth, the Exotics and the Friendlies now remain to challenge the all-conquering Others who have mutated from the strongers of the Splinter Cultures to rule the galaxy.
Yet even these last bastions are in disarray, their peoples isolated and divided by self-interest. Only someone who can understand the forces of their long and glorius history - someone in whom the spirit of Donal lives on - can bring them together against the new supermen and prove that their own evolution has not been in vain . . .
