Mong(ols)

The Mongols cross the Pacific and invade North America. The Mong cross the newly frozen Bering Strait and invade North America. The Mongols fight Korean cannibals.

Which three sf series by which two authors am I describing? It is easy. All three are discussed on this blog. Have I missed any other relevant references to Mongols?

Kaor, Paul!

Yes, it was easy! You meant these works:

"The Only Game In Town," one of Anderson's Time Patrol stories.

ORION SHALL RISE, again by Anderson. And we see mention of the Mong in the other Maurai stories.

THE SKY BLUE WOLVES, by S.M. Stirling. And the Mongols of Stirling's book fight demon possessed Korean sorcerer cannibals in the Emberverse series.

I suppose we could include as well Anderson's "A Message in Secret," featuring nomadic colonists on the partly glaciated world Altai of Russo/Mongol descent.

Sean,
We could and some place names resonate.

They do, with "Altai" being one of them. And various other names in "Message."
