[edit] Untitled
I would class "Voyage to the City of the Dead" as a Commonwealth novel, since it plays in the same "universe" and the discoveries they make on Horseeye are mentioned in one of the Flinx novels (IIRC).

"Voyage to the City of the Dead" IS a Commonwealth novel, per Foster himself. I have re-arranged the listing of Commonwealth & Flinx novels into chronological order, per the info on Foster's website.

Do you mean chronological order storywise? If so there should be a note at the top of the list. I was about to put them in publication order, but if this is the case, my preference would be to leave it as it is but add the note. I wish I could remember myself, but it's been years since I read them! Coyote-37 13:42, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
- "chronological order" afaik has always meant storywise, otherwise one speaks of publication order. As noted, the order is based on what is at Foster's own site. ---emb021
- Just FYI on the Humanx Commonwealth page there is a Commonwealth novel timeline with dates and all commonwealth novels together not separated by type. Should that be included here somehow? --Galrok —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galrok (talk • contribs) 17:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Is this sufficient?
Seems stubbish to me - I see a characterization of him as a novelist, a long list of works but practically no biography? Schissel : bowl listen 05:49, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] From...
To me, ADF is from NYC, not Prescott, AZ. He was born and raised in NYC, only moving to AZ later in life. He does currently reside in AZ, so perhaps a better catagorization is needed. Zotdragon 17:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
