Description	Soldier, Ask Not is a Hugo Award-winning science fiction short story written by Gordon R. Dickson and published in 1964 in the October, 1964 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. It is also a novel of the same name published in 1967 by Dell Publishing company. Rather than being expanded from the shorter work, the novel is a longer work into which the shorter work (about one third) is placed .It is part of Dickson's Childe Cycle series, in which mankind has reached the stars and divided into specialized splinter groups. It takes place at roughly the same time as Dorsai! and a few characters appear in both books. Themes from the rest of the cycle are echoed here, particularly the actions of a key person, like Paul Formain, Cletus Grahame and Donal Graeme in the other novels, who can drastically affect history due to his ability to analyze and influence the behavior of others. Unlike the other protagonists, however, Tam Olyn is no hero.
