Order of Fifth Millennium Books

S.M. Stirling's Fifth Millennium series transports readers to a post-apocalyptic world where fantasy meets medieval realism. This Canadian-American author, frequently collaborating with Shirley Meier, has crafted a unique setting where magical abilities and psychic powers exist but remain relatively weak forces in the world. The technological landscape mirrors that of the Middle Ages, creating an intriguing blend of genres.

The series launched with Snowbrother, marking the beginning of Stirling's exploration of this distinctive universe. The original storyline concluded with Shadow's Son in 1991, a collaborative effort between Stirling, Meier, and Karen Werhstein. That same year saw Meier and Werhstein expand the series universe with additional spin-off novels, enriching the world Stirling had created.
