THE GRANDEST SAGA IN
THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION." - Ben Bova

Only one thing could lure Hal Mayne away from his research aboard the Final Encyclopedia. It was the shattering news of the Younger Worlds' oncoming defeat - an inevitable triumph for the cross-cultural hybrids known as the Others.

To save Earth's future on space. Hal must journey to the planet Kultis, where the powerful Alternate Forces have been mastered by the top secret Chantry Guild. There Hal Mayne will meet his greatest challenge and ultimate fate - one that will alter mankind's destiny forever...

THE CHANTRY GUILD
At last, Gordon R. Dickson returns to the exciting world of his epic masterwork, the "Chylde Cycle." A brilliant evolutionary saga that has been praised worldwide...

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
