Quite frankly, this entry in the Childe Cycle seemed like its only purpose was to spawn more volumes and, thereby, more revenue. It was bloated and didn't have the quality of writing that I found in Tactics of Mistake, Soldier, Ask Not or Spirit of the Dorsai.

Too bad, it was a good series. (

The Final Encyclopedia is a storage facility that is supposed to contain the sum total of human knowledge, as it is possible in this universe. When information is power, there will be conflict other such a store.

The two figuredheads for this struggle are the more than human characters Hal Mayne and Bleys.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312861869, Paperback)

The Childe Cycle, also known as the Dorsai series, is Gordon R. Dickson's future history of humankind and its ultimate destiny. Now one of its central novels return to print in a two-volume corrected edition.

In The Final Encyclopedia the human race is split into three Splinter cultures: the Friendlies, fanatic in their faith; the truth-seeking Exotics; and the warrior Dorsai. But now humanity is threatened by the power-hungry Others, whose triumph would end all human progress.

Hal Mayne is an orphan who was raised by three tutors: an Exotic, a Friendly, and a Dorsai. He is the only human capable of uniting humanity against the Others. But only if he is willing to accept his terrifying destiny...as savior of mankind.

A towering landmark of future history, The Final Encyclopedia is a novel every SF fan needs to own.
