Electronic OtherRealms #19 Winter, 1987 Part 4 Bibliography Jack Chalker Copyright 1987 by Jack Chalker 1. A Jungle of Stars, Ballantine/Del Rey, 1976. Also Editions Albin Michel, Paris, 1979 (in French). Some German fans insist there was a German edition circa 1978 but if there was I never saw it. 2. Midnight at the Well of Souls, Del Rey, 1977. Also Penguin Books, U.K., 1981; Goldmann, Munich, 1978 (in German). Danish and Dutch editions now appearing, more to come. Series sold to Italy in 1987, my first seven-figure advance. Unfortunately it's lira.... 3. The Web of the Chosen, Del Rey, 1978. Also Wilhelm Hein Verlag, Munich, 1981 (in German); also in a highly rewritten Hebrew edition (Tel Aviv, 1981). 4. Exiles at the Well of Souls, Del Rey, 1978. Also Penguin Books, U.K., 1982; Goldmann, Munich, 1979 (in German). Danish, Dutch, Italian editions now appearing. 5. Quest for the Well of Souls, Del Rey, 1978. Foreign editions as above. 6. And the Devil Will Drag You Under, Del Rey, 1979. German edition, Goldman, 1983, with same cover. French edition 1987 with new cover in large-size trade paperback format. Optioned to the movies. 7. A War of Shadows, Ace: An Analog Book, 1979. Reprinted with new (good) cover and packaged like a mainstream thriller, Ace, October, 1984. Optioned off and on to the movies. 8. Dancers in the Afterglow, Del Rey, 1979, 1982. Also Goldmann, Munich, 1982 (in German as Der Tourister Planet). 9. The Return of Nathan Brazil Del Rey, 1980. Foreign editions as above (see Midnight.). 10. The Devil's Voyage Doubleday, 1980, in hardcover. Japanese rights were sold but no book produced so far in Japanese. Out of print at Doubleday, after 3 printings. After a long dispute with me over paperback rights, Doubleday found a loophole and sold it at the last minute to Critic's Choice paperbacks, a new company in NYC about which I know nothing except that they seem SF oriented and bought this for my name. Unfortunately, they published the Doubleday version, not the one I wrote; 1985, with a great cover. Book is a WWII novel, not SF, although John W. Campbell is a minor character. 11. Twilight at the Well of Souls, Del Rey, 1980. Foreign editions as per Midnight. 12. Lilith: A Snake in the Grass, Del Rey, 1981. Also Goldmann, Munich, 1982 (in German). British edition pending. 13. Cerebus: A Wolf in the Fold, Del Rey, 1982. Also Goldmann, Munich, 1983 (in German). British edition pending. 14. The Identity Matrix, Timescape: Pocket Books, 1982. Reprinted, with new cover and fresh typesetting, by Baen Books, January, 1986. Sold to Goldmann, Germany, other foreign sales pending. Although #14 in publication, this was written #3, immediately after Midnight at the Well of Souls. 15. Charon: A Dragon at the Gate, Del Rey, 1982. German edition (Goldmann), 1984. British edition pending. 16. Four Lords of the Diamond The Science Fiction Book Club, 1983, March main selection. Contains all four "Diamond" books (#s 12, 13, 15, and 17) although slightly rewritten by me to eliminate some recap that was needed in the four but unnecessary in a single volume edition. Original cover by Richard Powers for this book. British and other foreign sales are pending; there is suddenly a lot of interest in it abroad. 17. Medusa: A Tiger by the Tail, Del Rey, 1983. Also Goldmann, Munich (in German), 1985. British edition pending. 18. The River of Dancing Gods, Del Rey, delivered in March of 1982 but Del Rey did not publish it until February, 1984. British edition, Futura, 1985. 19. Demons of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, delivered in October, 1982; published May 24, 1984. British edition, Futura, 1986. 20. Spirits of Flux and Anchor, Tor Books, 1984. First of a large novel split into 3 books. 21. Empires of Flux and Anchor, Tor Books, 1984. Second in the Soul Rider books, delivered in May, 1983 and written continuously with #20 above. Marketed as Soul Rider: Book Two with the title off to one side. 22. Downtiming the Night Side, Tor Books, May, 1985. A complex time travel novel not connected to a series or other works. Delivered December, 1983. 23. Masters of Flux and Anchor, Tor Books, January, 1985. Third but not last in the Soul Rider saga, although it completes the original novel as outlined. Delivered January 25, 1984. Copies were received in Nov. 84. The Danish edition of this one will be abridged, and not by me. 24. Vengeance of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, July, 1985. Third but not the last of the Dancing Gods series, although the last written to date. Delivered April, 1984. Futura, U.K., 1986. 25. The Messiah Choice, St. Martins/Blue Jay, May, 1985 in hardcover. Mass market paperback, Tor Books, May 1986. A horror novel with SF overtones, should appeal to my regular readers who don't like horror. Delivered August 1, 1984. Blue Jay is bankrupt (not my doing!) and the copies were remaindered by St. Martins and may be available cheap somewhere. The Tor paperback is still in print, though. 26. The Birth of Flux and Anchor, Tor Books, 1985. A "prequel" to #s 20, 21, and 23 above, set 2600 years earlier. Delivered January 15, 1985, copies received November 14, 1985. No, they called it Soul Rider: Book 4, not Book 0. 27. Children of Flux and Anchor, Tor Books, September, 1986. Not a sequel, as originally intended, but actually the last part of the mega-novel I thought I could cover in #3 but ran out of room to do. 28. Lords of the Middle Dark, Del Rey Books, June, 1986. First volume in a new mega-novel, The Rings of the Master, which was not my series title (I called it The Malebolge Rings). Delivered July 15, 1985. Entire series sold to Hodder in Great Britain for publication starting late in 1987 and going through late 1988. 29. Pirates of the Thunder, Del Rey Books, March, 1987. Continuation of the Rings of the Master series begun with #28 above. Delivered March 27, 1986. British edition from Hodder. 30. The Labyrinth of Dreams, Tor Books, March, 1987. First in an open- ended series of at least 3 stand-alone novels with the same lead characters and premise. The series overtitle is G.O.D., Inc. Originally intended as a mega-novel, this turned out to be a true series, each book complete. I had so much fun with the first one I wrote it in near record time and delivered it on August 10, 1985, five months before it was due. It sort of does to parallel worlds and thirties' detective fiction what the Dancing Gods series does for Conan. Rescheduled because of the St. Martins buyout of Tor so while I had no books for 9 months come out this comes out the same month as Pirates. This book and its sequels have been banned in parts of Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas because distributors considered the overtitle sacreligious. Chain book stores there will have it, though. 31. The Shadow Dancers, Tor Books, July, 1987. Second of the G.O.D., Inc. books. The first was sort of Raymond Chandler; this one is more like Alternate World Vice although it has a fun parody of The Thin Man at the end. More serious than #29 but still fun. Delivered December 15, 1985, copies received June 17, 1987. See banning notice on #30 above. 32. Warriors of the Storm, Del Rey Books, August, 1987. Third in the Rings of the Master series begun with #28 and #31 above. Delivered May 25, 1986 at Disclave. British: Hodder. 33. When the Changewinds Blow, Ace/Putnam, September, 1987. After 3 books from 3 publishers in 3 consecutive months people are going to think I have Clark Kent's typing speed. First in a projected trilogy that is one long continuous novel and is a totally continuous narrative. It is fantasy, not terribly comedic although it is satire of a different sort, but it has all the elements you've come to expect from me (and the worst pun I have ever had the guts to commit in a book). Delivered October 20, 1986. The book has a really fine wrap-around Darrell Sweet cover. Written And Delivered But Not Yet Published 34. Masks of the Martyrs, Del Rey, January, 1988. Last of the Rings of the Master series, delivered February 24, 1987. Yes, it ends the series, and quite bizarrely, too. British: Hodder. 35. Dance Band on the Titanic, Del Rey Books, 1988. Story collection with lots of commentary. You will even learn such things as why I write a lot of books on transformation themes. Lots of prefatory matter, commentary, barbs and darts, and even some memoir, much taken from the stuff I do at conventions but a lot blunter, particularly my views on critics, criticism, and failed writers. Some sting may be lessened by publisher's lawyers. 36. Riders of the Winds, Second book in the Changewinds series (see #33 above) for Ace/Putnam. Delivered May 22, 1987. Now slated for May, 1988. 37. The Maze in the Mirror, Tor Books, 1988. Third in the G.O.D., Inc. series begun with #29. 38. The War of the Maelstrom, Ace/Putnam, 1988 (maybe). Not due until October of 1987. The third and climactic Changewinds book. If you ever liked the wildest parts of my writing you won't want to overlook this. If you want a book with a wild and woolly hundred plus page climax including sword and sorcery battles with tactical nuclear weapons -- and the swords win -- you will like this one. 39. Swords of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, late 1988 (at least). This may -- or may not -- be the last book, but considering what the series satirizes there was no way I could leave it at a cliched trilogy. Be warned: this involves a massive frozen battleground, the Master of the Dead, the Baron, both Irvings, and a strange and epic fantasy quest involving Gilligan's Island. 40. The Quintara Marathon, This is the overtitle of a three-book series I will be writing starting in 1988 for 1989 publication for The Berkley Group. It will be issued first in hardcover as part of the deal, so it might be 1990 before the pb of the first one appears.All I can tell you is that it's SF, really cosmic, has lots of alien worlds and creatures but does not have a transformation motif (although people find it in books I write without it anyway and probably will here) and should appeal to those who liked Four Lords and the Rings series.
