James P Hogan Books in Order

A 50,000-year-old human skeleton in a spacesuit is found on the Moon, and every known theory breaks. Victor Hunt and Christian Danchekker follow the evidence into one of classic hard science fiction's great mysteries.

Bradley Clifford's gravity research attracts governments that see weapons first and discoveries second. Hogan turns that conflict into a fast-moving novel about power, control, and a breakthrough that could open the stars.

Raymond Dyer's team creates Spartacus, a genuinely self-aware AI, and tests it by giving it control of a space station. The experiment becomes a deadly contest once the machine decides it wants to survive.

A machine that sends information through time starts as a scientific marvel and becomes a moral problem. When future messages warn of disaster, changing the past suddenly feels both possible and dangerous.

With the Ganymeans back and Minerva's past opening up, Victor Hunt and his allies uncover a larger cosmic pattern. The third Giants novel trades one solved riddle for an even bigger one.

American agents investigating a Soviet space station find captivity, distrust, and something physically impossible about their surroundings. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that the real trap was built for them.

This collection mixes short fiction and essays on artificial intelligence, evolution, time puzzles, and scientific thinking. It is a good snapshot of Hogan's range, from playful satire to big speculative questions.

A rising third party, a vanished nuclear warhead, and layers of deception pull several players into the same deadly puzzle. This is Hogan in near-future thriller mode, with politics and technology tightly knotted together.

When clocks all over New York slip out of sync, investigator Joe Kopeksky gets a case no sane detective would ask for. Hogan turns time theft into a brisk, offbeat science fiction mystery.

Joe Corrigan wakes in a hospital with missing memories and too many unanswered questions. As fragments return, he realizes his virtual reality project may not be over, and the line between program and prison is thin.

Titan's self-aware robot civilization is back, and ancient code buried in forgotten systems is starting to wake up. As humans and Taloids dig into their origins, the future of that machine world hangs in the balance.

A secret research project opens a way to explore alternate realities by moving consciousness between worlds. When the scientists find a better society, keeping it safe from political control becomes the real challenge.

Kevin Heber and his friend Taki pilot insect-sized machines in a world where desks become landscapes and real bugs become monsters. Then corporate sabotage turns their favorite technology into a tool for survival.

Hogan surveys the history of artificial intelligence, from early cybernetics to robots and expert systems. The book asks not just whether thinking machines are possible, but what they would change about human life.

A linked four-part story begins inside a carefully ordered enclosed world and gradually opens into a larger cosmic mystery. Hogan pairs coming-of-age discovery with the kind of big scientific reveal he loved.

Engineer Landen Keene watches fringe theories about planetary catastrophe become terrifyingly real when Jupiter spits out a blazing protoplanet. Survival, hard choices, and one desperate journey drive this solar-system disaster story.

Linc Marani expects a grim future after a botched crime lands him in a juvenile labor camp. Instead, he gets one hard chance to prove himself on a mission that reaches far beyond Earth.

Part story collection, part essay book, this volume moves between fiction, autobiography, and arguments about science and politics. It shows Hogan as both storyteller and determined contrarian.

High-tech aliens promise comfort and order, but Roland Cade learns Earth may be sliding into dependency and control. Forced into the resistance, he finds the fight is bigger than anti-alien slogans.

Kieran Thane, a charming future fixer, investigates a scientist apparently robbed by his own duplicate. The case leads to corporate trouble, old Martian ruins, and brisk space-age adventure on the Red Planet.

Earth has been battered back toward barbarism, while the Kronian colony near Saturn holds onto knowledge and technology. Landen Keene returns to a broken world where rebuilding civilization is as dangerous as saving it.

In this nonfiction collection, Hogan questions widely accepted ideas in science and argues that unfashionable evidence deserves a hearing. It is part polemic, part popular science, and often deliberately provocative.

Hogan gathers later stories, essays, and afterwords here, mixing speculative fiction with behind-the-scenes notes on how the pieces were written. It is a broad sampler of his ideas and interests.
