(i) "How To Be Ethnic..." was written as a prequel to the trader team stories;
the Young Flandry Trilogy was written as a prequel to the Captain Flandry series;
Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Trek: Discovery were written as prequels to Star Trek.
(ii) Poul Anderson describes space battles whereas Star Trek shows them.
(iii) Vulcans and Chereionites are telepathic.
(iv) Klingons and Roidhunate Merseians are racial supremacists.
I advise Star Trek fans to read Anderson.

Kaor, Paul!
I absolutely agree! I was never a STAR TREK or STAR WARS fan. Reading masters like Anderson, Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, Norton, etc., as a boy spoiled TV and movie SF for me. I kept noticing thin, shallow, and superficial they were/are compared to the masters I listed.
