Adzel is a student;
James Ching advances from student to apprentice;
Juan Hernandez is an apprentice;
David Falkayn advances from apprentice to journeyman;
Emil Dalmady advances from factor to entrepreneur;
Nicholas van Rijn, Martin Schuster and Thomas Overbeck are Masters in the Polesotechnic League.
In Volume II, David Falkayn: Star Trader:
Falkayn has become a Master Merchant working for van Rijn with Adzel in his crew.
Thus, we stay with three of the eight characters introduced in Volume I but the History of the Polesotechnic League is considerably more than just a van Rijn series followed by a trader team series. In the post-League History, of course, Dominic Flandry is, in successive volumes, Ensign, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Knight, Captain, Admiral and Fleet Admiral.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteI remember Martin Schuster, from "The Three Cornered Wheel." And I'm sorry we didn't get one or two more stories featuring that interesting character.
