I am fascinated by Dennitzan geography. Much is already on the blog, e.g.:
On p. 365, we read that the huge crater of the Kazan bites an arc from the Vysochina so what is the latter? First, it is named after a region of the Czech Republic. Secondly, further down p. 365, there is a reference to "...Vysochina hills." We read elsewhere that Kossara wants to show Flandry an overlook in the Vysochina highlands. And that is it, at least so far. There are three previous references on the blog (see here; scroll down) but all say much the same.
Hopefully, this is the last attempt to put the Captain Flandry sub-sub-series in the right order in hypothetical new editions:
Volume I
Two diptychs:
"Tiger By The Tail" and "Honorable Enemies"
"Message in Secret" and "The Plague of Masters"
Volume II
One trilogy:
"The Game of Glory," "Hunters of the Sky Cave" and "The Warriors from Nowhere"
Volume III
One novel:
A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows
As a rule, each installment refers back to the previous one but "The Game of Glory" refers back to "Honorable Enemies" and the second diptych can fit between them.

Kaor, Paul!
I think it was the impact of that colossal asteroid on Dennitza creating the Kazan was what caused the eons long Ice Age covering the entire globe. And, incidentally, wiping out a species that was beginning to chip stone. The Slavic Europeans who settled Dennitza were lucky to come as that Ice Age was ending, otherwise it might have been more like Altai.
Ad astra! Sean
