The Brain & Brawn Ship series comprises seven novels. Only the first was written by Anne McCaffrey alone, a fix-up of five previously published stories.[1]

The Ship books are set in the same universe as the Crystal Singer books, as Brainship-Brawn pairings were characters in the second and third volumes of that series.

• The Ship Who Sang (1969) (fix-up of stories from 1961, 1966, and 1969) ISBN 978-0-345-33431-2
• PartnerShip (1992) with Margaret Ball, ISBN 978-0-671-72109-1
• The Ship Who Searched (1992) with Mercedes Lackey, ISBN 978-0-671-72129-9
• The City Who Fought (1993) with S.M. Stirling, ISBN 978-0-671-87599-2
• The Ship Who Won (1994) with Jody Lynn Nye, ISBN 978-0-671-87657-9

This series also includes solo entries by Stirling and Nye:

• The Ship Errant (1996) by Jody Lynn Nye, ISBN 978-0-671-87854-2
• The Ship Avenged (1997) by S.M. Stirling, ISBN 978-0-671-87861-0

All but the first were issued in omnibus editions of two as Brain Ships (2003, McCaffrey, Ball & Lackey); The Ship Who Saved the Worlds (2003, McCaffrey & Nye); The City and the Ship (2004, McCaffrey & Stirling).[1]

The Crystal series, as catalogued by the Internet Speculative Fiction Database under the name Crystal Universe, comprises five novels published from 1982 and four earlier short stories that were a basis for the first book, The Crystal Singer. Three of the novels compose the Crystal trilogy, or Crystal Singer trilogy after the first of them.[2]

• Crystal trilogy, or Crystal Singer trilogy
  • Crystal Singer (1982) ISBN 978-0-345-32786-4 (based on four stories published 1974/1975)
  • Killashandra (1986) ISBN 978-0-345-31600-4
  • Crystal Line (1992) ISBN 978-0-345-38491-1

Omnibus editions were published as The Crystal Singer Trilogy (1996) and The Crystal Singer Omnibus (1999).[3]

ISFDB catalogues two other novels as "Crystal Universe" books.[2]

• The Coelura (1983) ISBN 978-0-312-93042-4
• Nimisha's Ship (1998) ISBN 978-0-345-43425-8

The Ireta series, as catalogued by ISFDB, comprises five novels, two "Dinosaur Planets" by Anne McCaffrey 1978 and 1984, and three "Planet Pirates" written with co-authors in the 1990s.[4]

They share a fictional premise and some characters. The events of Dinosaur Planet overlap with the final chapters of The Death of Sleep, as does Dinosaur Planet Survivors with Sassinak; Generation Warriors continues and concludes the storylines of both series.

When the Exploration and Evaluation Corps team reached the planet Ireta, dinosaurs were not what they expected to find.

• Dinosaur Planet (1978) ISBN 978-0-345-31995-1
• Dinosaur Planet Survivors (1984) ISBN 978-0-345-27246-1

Omnibus editions have been issued under the titles The Ireta Adventure (1985), The Dinosaur Planet Omnibus (2001), and The Mystery of Ireta (2004).[5]

All is not well in the FSP: pirates attack the spacelanes. In this series, survivors on Ireta and survivors of space pirate attacks join forces.

• Sassinak (1990-03-01) with Elizabeth Moon, ISBN 978-0-671-69863-8
