Here's another Andersonian bit I...Kaor, Paul! <br /><br />Here's another Andersonian bit I found on page 129 of CONQUISTADOR, where Adrienne Rolf was talking to the inquisitive Jim Simmons, one of the Commonwealth's Border Scouts: <br /><br /> Adrienne punched his shoulder, it felt like striking a board.<br />"You'd go toes up in a month, living in Rolfeston, or even on <br />an estate in Napa," she said. "And working a regular job in-<br />side the frontier would drive you to suicide. You're a wilder-<br />ness man through and through.<br /> "True...true...how about a brief, meaningless affair, then?"<br /> "You're incorrigible!"<br /> "No, the name's Simmons.."<br /><br />Ha! This reminded me what readers will see in Chapter XV of WE CLAIM T THESE STARS: "The admiral sat unmoving a moment. Then his mouth crinkled, "You're incorrigible," he said. "And spare me that stock answer, 'No, I'm Flandry,"..."<br /><br />Yet another bit of evidence showing how Stirling is also a fan of Poul Anderson!<br /><br />Sean<br /><br /><br />Sean M.

The descriptions of the foods is so ...Kaor, Paul! <br /><br />The descriptions of the foods is so tempting! Dang! (Smiles)<br /><br />Yes, the way Roy Tully went about gathering informations sounds exactly like what Dominic Flandry would have done. Simply observing and socializing with the New Virginians told him a lot.<br /><br />I have to admit that the New Virginian critique of FirstSide America has a good dea of truth, enough to sting. I'll hunt up and send you the link to a recent article I read about the woes and troubles of California. Much of what that article said about CA reminded me a lot of what I'm reading in CONQUISTADOR.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
