: I have often wondered if #30 was the last. I have searched assiduously for later volumes to no avail. I seem to remember a newsgroup thread sometime ago on this question, with someone claiming that it was the last since, at the end, Dumarest finally knows how to find Earth. However, many of the earlier novels ended similarly: Dumarest is convinced he finally is on his way. I was not convinced by the end of #30.
: Richard Chandler
Richard Chandler's list is correct but is missing the last two titles. No. 31 is The Temple of Truth and No. 32 is the long awaited final volume in the Dumarest saga. The title is The Return and it published by Gryphon Press. Dumarest is finally home.
