Back To Ishtar

Blogging remains unpredictable:

rereading Past Times led to rereading the Time Patrol;

reading Kim led to rereading parts of The Game Of Empire;

rereading "Marque and Reprisal" led to rereading the remaining Gunnar Heim stories and now their sequel, Fire Time.

Fire Time introduces the unusual planet Ishtar. Searching the Poul Anderson's Cosmic Environments blog reveals that it has a post called "Ishtar." However, this post describes the unusual Ishtarians (see image), not their unusual planetary environment, so that becomes the next item on the agenda, time and other activities permitting, of course.

Onward and upward.
