On Or In

(Why publish the third volume of the first Dominic Flandry trilogy and the first volume of the second Flandry trilogy in a single volume without any of the other volumes especially when there is a series between the two trilogies?)

By careful rereading of the texts, I have found a minor anomaly in Poul Anderson's History of Technic Civilization. Although Chapter Four of The Rebel Worlds describes Catawrayannis as "...a substantial town..." on the Cynthian-named planet of Llynathawr, Hloch, in his Introduction to "How To Be Ethnic In One Easy Lesson" for The Earth Book Of Stormgate, states that James Ching eventually settled on, not in, Catawrayannis. Thus, readers on the Earth Book are led to believe that Catawrayannis is a planet, not a town on a planet.

The misleading preposition, "on," was repeated when the contents of the Earth Book, including Hloch's Introductions, were reproduced in Baen Books' seven-volume The Technic Civilization Saga. Maybe this single letter can be changed in any future edition.
