The books in the series were:

- Starchild (1965)
- Rogue Star (1969)
An omnibus edition titled The Starchild Trilogy was first published by the Science Fiction Book Club in October 1977.
Reception
Algis Budrys praised The Reefs of Space as "a most rewarding piece of science fiction . . . full of inventions [and] the constant generation of science-fiction ideas and science-fiction characters." However, he criticized its ending as "anticlimactic" and for its failure to resolve themes involving several prominent characters."Galaxy Bookshelf," Galaxy, February 1965, pp.158-59.
