From Ys To Londinium

Good night. Tomorrow I will travel by train to London, remembering Gratillonius' deputy, Adminius, who came from Londinium. Posts on this blog will cease until late on Sunday evening or, more probably, some time on Monday. I hope that I have left enough for blog readers to think about and have encouraged some of them to read or reread Poul and Karen Anderson's The King of Ys Tetralogy

Chronologically, this Tetralogy falls between Poul Anderson's three novels set BC and his five Norse historical fantasies. The first of these five refers to Ys. Read them all.

Tene Mithra, etiam miles, fides nostris votis nos.

Kaor, Paul!

Have a good time in Londinium! Your holiday there will give me time to catch up with the blog!

Norse historical fantasies by Anderson? These comes to mind:

WAR OF THE GODS
HROLF KRAKI'S SAGA
THE BROKEN SWORD
MOTHER OF KINGS
THE MERMAN'S CHILDREN

I think we both agree on not including Anderson's three volume THE LAST VIKING, because that's wholly historical fiction.

Ad astra! Sean
