In "Outpost of Empire," John Ridenour remembers Starkad. That means something.
In The Day Of Their Return, Erannath is of Stormgate Choth. That means something.
"Tiger by the Tail" opens with the viewpoint of Captain Dominic Flandry. That means a lot. We are back with Flandry and he has had yet another promotion although he has not yet been knighted. In fact, this is the earliest published Flandry story albeit now revised. Flandry has gained an earlier life and his entire civilization has gained an earlier history and prehistory. A massive future history structure has been constructed around a few pulp magazine short stories.

Kaor, Paul!
Flandry was knighted after nullifying the Scothan threat. Preventing a massive invasion of the Empire by a powerful barbarian confederation richly earned Flandry the rare and highly regarded honor of a knighthood.
Ad astra! Sean
