Description
The Genetic General is the foundational novel of Gordon R. Dickson’s epic Childe Cycle and introduces the legendary Dorsai, a splinter group of humanity bred specifically for war. The story follows Donal Graeme, a young man of extraordinary tactical genius who rises through the ranks of the galaxy’s elite mercenaries. Unlike his peers, Donal possesses a strange, almost psychic intuition for strategy, allowing him to manipulate entire star systems and military outcomes. As he navigates interstellar politics and brutal combat, Donal begins to evolve into something more than human—the “Genetic General” who will shape the future of the species.
