Sequels Galore II

The sequel to A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows is A Stone In Heaven and is set fourteen years later. We would like to know what had happened in each of those fourteen years but we also want to know the whole outline of Flandry's life and cannot have both. A series in which each volume covered only a single year would not have carried us past Flandry's twenties.

Flandry, aged sixty-one, remembers his dead, Kossara, Dominic, Hans and many more, but also enjoys health, money, power, friends, women, interesting important work and a breakfast souffle, prepared by Chives, served with the outer wall retracted to show the roof garden of Terran and extra-terrestrial flowers with a singing Cynthian yaoti and a view of the towers of Archopolis, blue sky, white clouds, sparkling aircars as well as a cool breeze and machine pulse - also a cigarette by a fountain.

OK. Life is good for Flandry back on Terra.
