Project Orion in Science Fiction

Project Orion is one of the great might-have-beens of the space age, and it is therefore no surprise to see that it features in many science fiction and alternate history stories. Here are some examples:
  • In S. M. Stirling's novel, The Stone Dogs, nuclear pulse propulsion powered spacecraft are used to colonize the solar system in an alternate version of the Cold War.
