This novelette, an adaptation of chapters 7-11 of Timestorm, was published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in 1977.

Includes setting copy.

Dickson originally intended this novel to be an expansion of his 1954 short story, "Black Charlie," but later wrote it as a sort of sequel to that story; the material here reflects both intentions. Some of the material here refers to a Dell edition of the novel (published?); the material from the publication stage (i.e., the setting copy) is for the Dutton edition, published in 1973.

A much different and shorter form of this novel, under the title Capsule, appeared in Analog in 1973. Dickson decided to expand that novel into The Far Call, but along the way made so many changes that the new novel was both much longer and significantly different from the original. The Far Call was first published by Dial Press and subsequently reprinted by Dell Books.

Other projects were undertaken during the writing of The Far Call, some of them growing out of the research done for the novel. See in this collection materials for Before the Launch, a novellette, and the two articles, "A Matter of Perspective" and "SF Authors Interview."

The writing process for The Far Call appears to have been very complicated, involving a great deal of research, writing, and revision. Therefore it has not always been possible to precisely identify each item nor arrange them in a strictly chronological manner. Instead, an attempt has been made to group similar materials together (e.g., notes and outlines) and to arrange these groups in such a way that the evolutionary development of the novel is clear.

This is a collection of three of Dickson's previously published novels: Necromancer, Tactics of Mistake, and Dorsai!, tied together with connecting matter--an introduction, a prologue to Necromancer, "interludes" between Necromancer and Tactics of Mistake and Tactics of Mistake and Dorsai!, and an epilogue--written especially for this edition. Published by Doubleday in 1975.

Includes drafts, setting copy and related matter, correspondence.

This material was originally placed with that of Time Storm and may related to the early stages of that novel when Dickson intended it to be a trilogy. However, the work as described here is significantly different from Time Storm as the latter was finally written.

Includes draft outlines.

Dickson apparently originally intended this book to be a trilogy entitled Three Steps in Time, but later opted to write it as a single, long novel instead under the present title. Most of this material reflects the single novel which was published by St. Martins Press in 1977.

Written for Magazine of Fantasy and Science-Fiction

These articles, which pertain to the United States space program in general and the Apollo 14 moon shot in particular, appeared in the December 1971 issue of Analog. The latter is an illustrated article by Kelly Freas. Apparently, they were originally to be written as one article, with Dickson supplying the text and Freas the illustrations, but in the end they were separated as distinct but interrelated articles. Some of the research Dickson did for this and other articles relating to the space program was also used as background in The Far Call.

Includes drafts, correspondence, illustrations, clippings, brochure, Apollo 14 press kit.

This article, entitled "SF and the Space Program" in some of the drafts, was apparently commissioned by the N.E.A. in 1972. The idea for the article seems to have grown out of the research Dickson did for The Far Call, and was originally placed with the materials for that novel.

Includes correspondence, notes, interviews, drafts.

This article and accompanying poem appeared in Analog, January 1975.
