Dang! I wish I had noticed these lite...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Dang! I wish I had noticed these literary allusions when I reading Stirling's account of the sea battle between the Tartessians and Nantucketers. We also see a few Andersonian allusions in the Nantucket books, but no explicit mentions of PA or any of his books by name or title. Which I regret--and we did see Anderson and some of his books explicitly mentioned in Stirling's CONQUISTADOR.<br /><br />And if what I remember about Anderson/Dickson's planet Brobdingnag in the Hoka stories is true, then it was a lot like Mirkheim. And, yes, I have read Jonathan Swift's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. I have two versions of that text, one which seems to be a reprint of the standard 18th century version, and THE ANNOTATED GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, with annotations by Isaac Asimov.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
