Early Interstellar Exploration In The Technic History

(i) The Breakup. Study of the inhabited Cynthia and Woden. Colonization of the uninhabited Hermes.

(ii) The first Grand Survey.

(iii) One or more Grand Surveys.

Four works in The Earth Book Of Stormgate are each about a different planet discovered during the first Grand Survey:

"Wings of Victory" is about Ythri;
"The Problem of Pain" is about Gray/Avalon;
"A Little Knowledge" is about Paradox;
"Day of Burning" is about Merseia.

"Wings of Victory" is set during what is clearly the first Grand Survey whereas the remaining works describe later expeditions.

Kaor, Paul!

Except I think Merseia was discovered during the first Grand Survey. Along with Grey/Avalon and Ythri.

Ad astra! Sean
