Martin's first novel, Dying of the Light is set in the same fictional "Thousand Worlds" universe as several of his other works, including Sandkings, Nightflyers, A Song for Lya, "The Way of Cross and Dragon" and the stories collected in Tuf Voyaging.[5] The novel's title is drawn from Dylan Thomas' 1947 poem "Do not go gentle into that good night".
