Order of Family D’Alembert Books

The Order of Family d'Alembert represents a captivating blend of science fiction and space opera, originating from the creative vision of legendary author E.E. "Doc" Smith and brought to life through the skilled writing of Stephen Goldin. At the heart of this thrilling series are siblings Jules and Yvette d'Alembert, whose spectacular performances as aerialists with the Circus of the Galaxy serve as the perfect cover for their true profession: covert operatives working for the empire's intelligence service.

This unique series began its journey when E.E. "Doc" Smith penned the original novella Imperial Stars, which Stephen Goldin later transformed into a full-length novel in 1976. From there, Goldin masterfully continued developing the series, drawing inspiration from Smith's foundational concepts and characters. The adventures of the d'Alembert family reached their conclusion in 1985 with the publication of Revolt of the Galaxy. Listed below are all the Family d'Alembert novels by E.E. "Doc" Smith and Stephen Goldin, arranged in their original publication sequence:

Note: Appointment at Bloodstar was also published under the alternate title The Bloodstar Conspiracy.
