Far Future History
Mike Resnick · 4 novels · 1982–2003
Far Future History collects Mike Resnick's Birthright-universe far-future Western sequence, told as a series of tall tales in the style of the Old West relocated into deep space, complete with lonely heroes, shoot-outs, and faithless companions. Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future anchors the sequence, building its own outlaw legend the way frontier folklore mythologized gunslingers. The related volumes extend the same Birthright history across the far future rather than forming one continuous plot.
