The contents of Poul Anderson's Orbit Unlimited originally appeared in Astounding and Fantastic whereas the four Rustum stories in the sequel volume appeared in Continuum I-IV, edited by Roger Elwood, a name we have met before. In the first story, Dan Coffin, now a teenager, must come to terms with his fear of the Rustumite lowlands and thus joins the ranks of Andersonian juvenile heroes on another colonized planet, Avalon.

Kaor, Paul!
Yes, in "My Own, My Native Land," the young Daniel Coffin did manage to overcome or dismiss his fear of the Rustumite lowlands and come to live happily there.
And I would include "The Queen of Air and Darkness" as part of the Rustum series, because we see mention of that planet in the story.
Thanks for mentioning how Stirling gives us hints about some of his other works in THEATER OF SPIES. Another thing to look out for when I finally get a copy of that book.
