The books in the series were:

  • Starchild (1965)
  • Rogue Star (1969)
  • An omnibus edition titled The Starchild Trilogy was first published in 1980.

    Reception

    Algis Budrys praised The Reefs of Space as "a most rewarding piece of science fiction . . . full of inventions [and] the constant generation of science-fiction ideas and science-fiction characters." However, he criticized its ending as "anticlimactic" and for its failure to resolve themes involving several prominent characters.
