Everard And Exaltationists

Manse Everard encounters Exaltationists four times in three instalments in two volumes.

(i) The encounter in Colombia is recounted in a flashback in "Ivory, and Apes, and Peacock," collected in Time Patrol.

(ii) The encounter in Peru is recounted in "The Year of the Ransom," collected in Time Patrol.

(iii) The encounter in Phoenicia is recounted in "Ivory..." but with a coda in a flashback in The Shield Of Time, PART TWO.

(iv) The encounter in Bactria is recounted in The Shield Of Time, PART TWO.

This becomes confusing which is why I thought that it was worthwhile to set it out. That is the entire saga of the Exaltationists.

Kaor, Paul!

Almost certainly Anderson had to compile detailed notes about the Time Patrol stories to keep them from getting hopelessly muddled up. Hope those papers survived.
