Later Novels
Authorized sequels to Armageddon 2419 A.D. were written in the 1980s by other authors working from an outline co-written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and loosely tied-in with their 1977 bestseller Lucifer's Hammer. The first sequel begins c. 2476 AD, when a widowed and cantankerous 86-year-old Anthony Rogers is mysteriously rejuvenated during a resurgence of the presumed-extinct Han, now called the Pr'lan. The novels include:
- Mordred by John Eric Holmes (Ace, January 1981, ISBN 0-441-54220-4)
- Warrior's Blood by Richard S. McEnroe (Ace, January 1981, ISBN 0-441-87333-2)
- Warrior's World by Richard S. McEnroe (Ace, October 1981, ISBN 0-441-87338-3)
- Rogers' Rangers by John Silbersack (Ace, August 1983, ISBN 0-441-73380-8)
Numerous novelists have reimagined or adapted the Buck Rogers mythos over the years, including:
- Buck Rogers: A Life in the Future by Martin Caidin, a standalone novel retelling the original story. (TSR, 1995, ISBN 0-7869-0144-6)
