Primavera, Sanders And Not Time Travellers

Fire Time, IV.

In orbit around Ishtar, Yuri Dejerine rereads one of his textbooks about the planet. We learn that the human town on Ishtar, Primavera, is named after an explorer, Diego Primavera.

On p. 43, we notice the phrase, "...time travelers...," but then realize that the entire sentence reads:

"However, by that time travelers who had gone elsewhere were bringing a flood of exotic tales...."

We also notice that:

"A scholarly dilettante, Winston P. Sanders..." (ibid.)

- exists in this timeline as well.

And, finally for now, we also notice some repetition on this blog.

Kaor, Paul!

I like how Anderson sometimes indulged in an inside jest when he used one of his pen names in a story!

Ad astra! Sean
