In the Technic History, there are beginnings:
The Young Flandry Trilogy;
The Trouble Twisters (a shorter "Young Falkayn" trilogy);
"The world's great age begins anew..."
- and endings:
van Rijn is already old in his first story;
Mirkheim is all about the ends of careers and of an era.
At the end of the first encounter between Dominic Flandry and Aycharaych, the latter says:
"'There will be more tomorrows. Tonight let us enjoy our truce.'"
-"Honorable Enemies," p. 302.
Here, near the beginning of a series, one continuing villain anticipates many future encounters with the series hero although in fact they will meet in only two further instalments.

Kaor, Paul!
In some of his stories, like WORLD WITHOUT STARS, FOR LOVE AND GLORY, and THE BOAT OF A MILLION YEARS, Anderson shows us characters who can hope for more "tomorrows."
Ad astra! Sean
