One Novel In The Technic History

I am pleased to find so much of substance in Poul Anderson's The Day Of Their Return on rereading it yet again. Still ahead of us at this stage in Anderson's Technic History are:

the entire Captain Flandry series including Flandry's long conflict with Aycharaych and his illuminating conversation with Chunderban Desai about the decline of Technic civilization;

the two Admiral Flandry novels, the second focused on Flandry's daughter;

the Long Night;

the subsequent civilizations.

In The Day Of Their Return, we find detailed descriptions of:

the Waybreak tineran Train;

Nova Roma

the University of Virgil

Far more than we expect.

Kaor, Paul!

Given the word count constraints many publishers used to insist on, Anderson managed to pack a lot into relatively short novels like THE REBEL WORLDS and THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN.

Ad astra! Sean
