Dennitza And Avalon

A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, XVI.

Dominic Flandry and Kossara Vymezal, if married, would have worked:

"...for the future, not the poor wayworn Empire but a world he too could believe in, the world of their own blood." (p. 543)

Thus Dennitza would have been to Flandry what Avalon was to David Falkayn.

Similarities
Both involve a retreat from the centre of a crumbling regime to a planet on the edge.

Both planets are inhabited by human beings and by one other intelligent species.

Difference
Flandry would have joined a six hundred year old colony whereas Falkayn founded Avalon.
