A few years ago, Wildside Press came to Jean Lorrah and I asking for reprint rights to our backlist. Wildside picked up the entire Sime~Gen series that Jean and I collaborate on and own together.
We had barely finished doing the formatting work on all 12 extant Sime~Gen novels than a fellow who knew Jean's work via a connection to her University job as a Professor of English came to us wanting game rights to her novels. We didn't have exactly what he wanted, but pointed him to some of the unpublished Sime~Gen work posted online, and it hinted at what he wanted.
For the last 6 months or so, we've been working to create the Sime~Gen galactic civilization, and meanwhile the novels have begun to appear in audiobook from audible.com which is a handy format many of his game development crew prefer -- because it's hands-and-eyes free and allows for multitasking.
Amazon's cross indexing is a mess, what with all the used copies for sale (cheap), so for reference, I'm going to list the Sime~Gen novels in publication order with links to the various formats of the new editions.
You don't need to read them before playing the game because the game will include whatever background you would want to play in this universe's interstellar era.
The novels were published in an order that has little to do with the chronology of history in the Sime~Gen universe. For that chronology consult:

Ad.
The evil overlord Tashtalon has reigned over Somerlie over 500 years. Then
strange events point Gill to a way to defeat Tashtalon…a magical weapon: the
Sword of Queens. To prevent its use, Tashtalon decreed that any woman wielding a
sword will be put to death…and he enforces that law savagely. Can Gill summon
the courage to find the sword and use it before Tashtalon kills her? Sword of
Queens by Joan Marie Verba: http://www.amazon.com/dp/
