Flandry Of Terra

 

Let's have a second look at an interesting title page image that we had earlier. See the attached image. To the left of the title page, there is a list of what are described as "Flandry of Terra Books by Poul Anderson." The three Young Flandry novels are followed by the two collections and one novel of the Captain Flandry series. Thus, these two sub-series, each complete in itself, combine to form a single more substantial six-volume series which however still leaves out:

the one story and one novel that are set between Young Flandry and Captain Flandry;

the two novels that feature Admiral Flandry;

the rest of the Technic History both before and after Flandry.

Thus, we pull back through discrete stages from a complete "Flandry of Terra" series to a completer Technic History. Some other future histories comprise series within series but the Technic History is the best of this sort that I know of.

The Torah is the first part of the Hebrew canon which is the first part of the Christian Bible which is one of the world's scriptures. I make this comparison partly because the pre-Flandry volume, The Earth Book of Stormgate, recounts the exodus of a people to a new world and refers to an Ythrian concept of deity.
