Not the Biblical Armageddon because, in that, a city flies down from heaven. See here.
Poul Anderson and SM Stirling are, of course, on the list.
ERB's main future history is a Moon trilogy and a sequel to his Martian series.

Kaor, Paul!
I'm not sure it was accurate to include Anderson's Maurai stories as a "future history" which does not show us space travel. In ORION SHALL RISE, we see one defiant nation building a space ship, in opposition to Maurai attempts to suppress both that and any use made of nuclear energy.
Yes, you meant the earlier Maurai stories, not what we see in ORION SHALL RISE, but it still struck me as a bit odd.

Sean,
The original Maurai series was already a future history before ORION... and THERE WILL BE TIME came along.

Kaor, Paul!
I know, but ORION SHALL RISE was part of the Maurai future history (with THERE WILL BE TIME more "tangential" to that timeline). So I still thought your comments rather odd.
