His many stories and characters seem to be connected which is why i wonder.
Just about everything he wrote is connected, yes, but each series (and frequently each novel, though the Corum set was written as two trilogies, so this forms an exception) can be read independently of the others. If you read the entirety of the Champion cycle, or for that matter all of his fiction (and some of his non-fiction is also related to the cycle in one way or another), then you end up with a much larger and more complex and fascinating picture; but the separate series were nonetheless written to be read either way....
