Notes
- From the series record (Bas-Lag): Core Canon = all 3 novels (Macmillan/Del Rey, 2000-2004). Each is an independent standalone story set in the same world of Bas-Lag (no shared protagonist, no direct continuation) rather than a conventional trilogy -- registered as one continuous sequence by shared setting, this canon's existing pattern for same-world independent-story sequences. No further Bas-Lag novel has been announced as of 2026-08-11; Mieville's short fiction set in Bas-Lag (the collection Looking for Jake contains at least one Bas-Lag story) was not researched and is not registered.
