Pixton Books in Order

Pixton is a separate Don Ehrenhaft series that begins with STRONGMAN. It is distinct from the Midgard Saga, so readers do not need any knowledge of Midgard, its realms, or its characters before starting here.

The available published reading order is simple: begin with STRONGMAN. It is the first Pixton book and the natural entry point for anyone curious about this branch of Ehrenhaft’s fiction.

Start with the first book.

Reliable plot information about the Pixton setting is scarce, so it is best not to approach the series expecting a detailed map of its world or a fully documented long-running arc before reading. What is clear is that Ehrenhaft treated Pixton as its own sequence, separate from his four-book fantasy saga and his standalone novels.

That separation can be useful for readers choosing where to start. MIDGARD is the place to go for a connected, Norse-inspired fantasy journey across multiple books. GAMMER'S CHILDREN offers a self-contained survival story after a devastating attack on Earth. STRONGMAN, meanwhile, is the first available doorway into Pixton.

A fresh start.

Because STRONGMAN is the opening volume, it is the right choice for readers who prefer to meet a new setting from the beginning and discover its rules as the story introduces them. There is no need to work through another series first or keep track of earlier events from a different fictional world.

Pixton currently works best as a short, focused reading path. Pick up STRONGMAN first, then follow any later Pixton releases in order if they become available. Until then, the series is easy to sample without a large commitment.

The limited catalog information also makes it worth keeping expectations open. Rather than promising a particular type of setting, character, or conflict that the available record does not confirm, Pixton is best described as an independent Ehrenhaft series with STRONGMAN at its start. Readers can let the book itself establish the tone, stakes, and world.

For a straightforward reading plan, there is only one essential step: begin with STRONGMAN. It is the clearest way into Pixton and the best place to decide whether you want to spend more time in this separate corner of Ehrenhaft’s fiction.
