Order of John Birmingham Books

John Birmingham is a British-Australian author of science fiction, alternate history, crime fiction and non-fiction. His first taste of being published was in a student newspaper at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, where he wrote stories. He then began writing articles for Rolling Stone and the Australian edition of Penthouse. However, he would gain his most notoriety for He Died With a Felafel in His Hand, a memoir that was adapted into a stageplay, film and graphic novel. He has also written a trilogy called the Axis of Time, an alternate history/techno-thriller series. He even included authors from the genres as minor characters in the trilogy.
John Birmingham’s first book was the aforementioned memoir, He Died With a Felafel in His Hand. It would be followed up by a sequel, entitled The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco, in 1998. Below is a list of John Birmingham’s books in order of when they were originally published:
