 the legion of space trilogy #1:
(the existence of a fourth novel from 1983 on need not detract from the accuracy of this classification:)

#1: "the legion of space" (1947) (this novel)
#2: "the cometeers" (1950), q.v., (1967), q.v.
(1950 as h/cvr omnibus including #3; 1967 as separate book)
#3: "one against the legion" (1950) q.v., (1967), q.v.
(1950 in h/cvr omnibus with #2; 1967 as separate book, adding the legion of space novella:)
"nowhere near" (apparently original to the 1967 mmpb of #3)

omnibus of #2 & #3:

#O1: ''the cometeers (omnibus)'' (1950), q.v.

omnibus of #1, #2 & #3 plus the novella, "nowhere near":

#O: "three from the legion" (mmpb 5/1980; merkin sfbc h/cvr restricted to club members 12/1979), q.v.

a further novel is set after the disbanding of the legion:
#4: "the queen of the legion" (1983), q.v.

and a final legion of space short story appeared:
"the luck of the legion" absolute magnitude & aboriginal #19, summer-fall 2002 (6/2002)

(i do not know when, by the series internal chronology, the novella and the short story occur.)
