Imran Series is the best-selling series of Urdu spy novels written starting from 1955 until his death in 1980 by Ibn-e-Safi.Books by Ibn-e-Safi on goodreads.com website Retrieved 26 November 2020
Both Doctor Du'aa-goo and Jonk Ki Waapsi were published as a series of episodes in the Daily Hurriyat, and later published in the form of books by "Asraar Publications" (the regular publishers of Imran Series). Zehreelee Tasweer and Baebaakon Ki Talaash were then written in the continuity of Jonk ki Waapsi and were published by the above in book form. For this reason, these books are numbered at the end, otherwise they should not be considered "out of continuity".
Ali Imran and Safdar Saeed were also featured in a Jasoosi Dunya novel, Zameen K Baadal (#075/#035). This was the only novel in which Ibn-e-Safi brought Colonel Ahmad Kamal Faridi and Imran together but due to a highly heated response from fans, he never repeated the experiment.
Following is the complete list of 121 novels written by Ibn-e-Safi in Imran series. (Original number, original title (Roman), original title (Urdu), translated title in parentheses, year first published.)
