Good Night

There are remaining details in Poul Anderson's "Among Thieves" to address, then other works to read, but it is after midnight here so good night.

I had read "Among Thieves" perhaps once before and did not expect to find a lot to say about it but that is never true of a Poul Anderson story.

What kind of FTL is used? Are other intelligent species mentioned? What is the significance of the Kolreshite ruler's title? Is there are any significance in his appearance, his uniform or his surroundings?

These questions might be discussed over (my) breakfast.

Kaor, Paul!

I agree, almost all of Anderson's stories can be seen to have a lot to tell if we look for it.
