The Chronology Of the End Of There Will Be Time

There Will Be Time.

April 12, 1970. Jack Havig visits Robert Anderson in Senlac, bringing Leonce for the first time. Anderson advises them how to organize against the Eyrie. (Chapter XIV.)

April 19, 1970 (approximately). Havig phones Anderson. (XIV.)

March, 1971. Havig and Leonce briefly visit Anderson and report progress. (XIV.)

Sunday October 31, 1971. Havig and Leonce visit Anderson for the last time and report victory. Leonce tells Anderson that he is "'...good for a fair while yet!'" (p. 173) (XVI.)

October, 1972. Anderson narrates the concluding chapter, XVI, of There Will Be Time. (XVI.)

Late 1972. Robert Anderson dies. (Foreword)

1973. Poul Anderson publishes There Will Be Time.

Chapter XV describes victory over the Eyrie and ends with dialogue about the victory between Anderson, Havig and Leonce which therefore properly belongs in XVI when Anderson learns of the victory for the first time.

Kaor, Paul!

I can only admire, yet again, your dedicated zeal in analyzing Anderson's stories.

As I expected, rereading Sandra Miesel's AGAINST TIME'S ARROW did not take long, having only 59 pages of text. And it's plain she did not consider Anderson a "sexist."

Ad astra! Sean
