The first part of this series was originally published with one set of covers (starting in 1986), and then in 2004, they started republishing them all with a new set of covers. Everything from that point on (from The Shining Badge forward) was never published with the original design. The new covers do not feature a book number, but instead focus on the year the story took place.

The Winslow Breed is a trilogy of prequels.
